What clashes?
- 1718627440 1y agoI think there was a discussion in the Linux kernel between a kernel maintainer and the Rust people, which started by the Rust people demanding formal semantics, so that they could encode it in Rust, and the subsystem maintainer unwilling to do that.
- uecker 1y agoAh, I thought you were talking about core language semantics in C.
- 1718627440 1y agoI don't know enough Rust, to do such a comparison.
- steveklabnik 1y ago“The rust people” were also kernel maintainers.
- 1718627440 1y agoSorry, I'm not familiar with the titles of kernel developers. I thought only one of them was the subsystem maintainer.
- steveklabnik 1y agoOne of them was a maintainer of that particular subsystem, but that doesn't mean that the other folks aren't also maintainers of other parts of the kernel.
