- pjmlp 3y agoYeah, and that should be lesson to Rust folks, some domains are religiously against anything but C. I am still surprised how Linus as accepted it, as his C++ rants can apply equally well to Rust code full of macros and derivation annotations. Not sure if the amount of Linux CVE caused by C is such a good reason, but then again, contrary to other OSes, there is Linus to make happy.
