Would you say that C is "here to stay" in Linux? I would say so. I think you understood what was meant.

- mu53 2y agoThe drama is the problem, not rust. I don't know why, but either zealots choose rust or rust induces zealotry. Its exactly what Linus said.
- mort96 2y agoI don't understand how this is related to what I said.
- Aeolun 2y agoOf perfectly moderate Rust users get annoyed with C zealots?
- account42 2y agoThat might be an argument if those C zealots were trying to add their language to a Rust project. Don't play in someone else's back yard and then complain that their are not pampering you enough.
- ksec 2y ago>. I don't know why, but either zealots choose rust or rust induces zealotry. That is actually quite well put together. May be The language that introduce absolute control also induces zealotry and produce zealots. However that doesn't happen with Ada. So that cant be the full explanation.
- starspangled 2y agoNo I wouldn't say that. If Rust or another language eventually proved itself more value than C and things were eventually all rewritten, C would go away. For that matter the C of Linux 10 years ago was not there to stay either, it has changed and certain features and practices are deprecated and dropped and others adopted. It's not the same C.
