Community seems to C Rust more as a burden than a benefit

Efforts to add Rust code to the Linux kernel suffered a setback last Thursday when one of the maintainers of the Rust for Linux project stepped down – citing frustration with"nontechnical nonsense."."After almost four years, I find myself lacking the energy and enthusiasm I once had to respond to some of the nontechnical nonsense, so it's best to leave it up to those who still have it in them.

"I truly believe the future of kernels is with memory-safe languages," Filho's note continued."I am no visionary but if Linux doesn't internalize this, I'm afraid some other kernel will do to it what it did to Unix."from the Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit in May.

"When I started on this project, I fully expected we would get pushback on technical grounds and I was willing to work through that under the assumption that eventually we would find consensus," explained Filho.
