The new guys definitely want to make things different, but it seems there is a lot of debate over whether it will actually be better. Really, they should just write their own their kernel. If rust is really that much better, they'll will.
- dralley 2y agoThere are already kernels written in Rust. Telling them to go write new kernels in Rust is like telling people working on a new audio workstation that they should write a package manager instead. A new kernel that they cannot practically use does not suit their needs. The point is to use Rust where it can suit their needs.
- taurknaut 2y agoWell I certainly don't use linux because it's written in C. Who would? Edit: This seems like more of an indication of a culture that lacks effective conflict resolution than any kind of technical question.
