I respect the conservative approach for the kernel but I think a big part of the disconnect on this is right there in the continued treatment of Rust as the "hot new thing" and yet another fad. To me it's much more than that. I might not have pushed back even a couple years ago but the language has been around nearly ten years now, has undeniable advantages (and disadvantages of course as with anything), and it's only gaining in popularity. Too much of the opposition feels like they're just hoping the movement fizzles out so they don't have to seriously engage with it, and I don't believe that's going to happen. Genuinely curious because I haven't been around so long, have there been previous pushes for the inclusion of other languages in the kernel? Anything even close to the level we're seeing now with Rust?
