I already loathe the fact that I need Perl to compile the kernel just because people are too lazy to rewrite a few parsing scripts in C. The moment Rust is introduced in Linux without being a complete replacement is the day I leave for greener pastures
- sophacles 4y agoWhy haven't you rewritten those parsing scripts you loathe so much? Since you haven't, it seems a bit ironic that your are complaining about those who didn't.

- bitcharmer 4y agoI agree on the Perl requirement bit but see Rust as a complete replacement for C or at least great alternative in systems engineering domain in the long term.
- HidyBush 4y agoPlease read again my comment. If tomorrow all the Linux C codebased switched to Rust I would have almost zero problems about it. My problem stems from having multiple toolchains to build the foundations of an operating system.
- bitcharmer 4y agoThe expectation for the switch to happen overnight in its entirety is very unrealistic.
