My understanding is the Linux kernel devs are refusing to explain the API and put it down in writing with clear documentation on what the contract is, and then they further gaslight and twist the situation with messaging like "you're trying to convince everyone to switch over to the religion as promulgated by Rust" (direct quote from a Kernel dev). Basically the worst of the worst behavior.
- binary132 2y agoHave you considered trying to understand the perspectives of people in the C kernel dev camp? This seems awfully biased towards a hermeneutic of “C developer bad, Rust developer good”.
- mlindner 2y agoI'm a C developer. What I see from some in the C kernel dev camp is a refusal to participate, and further an active attempt to stonewall progress. The Rust devs have been highly accommodating in every possible way, but that's just not enough for them.
