I'll be doing a video on the Rust linux stuff, but the short story is Linus needs to put his foot down and decide what's happening with Rust, the way things are going can't be allowed to keep happening.
Either say you changed your mind Rust is not happening and tell the Rust fans to piss off and shut up about it, or tell the people trying hard to stop Rust to grow up and learn to work as a community. Sitting around watching these fights happen over and over again is a waste of everyone's time.

@BrodieOnLinux yeah, I love how they're letting Rust in and keeping it out at the same time. Makes total fucking sense. Nothing's wrong with that.

@mks_h I might have my pick of the direction I want but in the end I really just care about picking a direction so people can actually know what to expect.
Brodie Robertson
@liamolua A lot of that comes from Rust being a language that spawned during the age of social media, from the very first day you could make your entire online persona about one language. You could have talked about nothing but C with your colleagues but it didn't let you reach the same level of audience.

Before Rust came out I never heard of this hardcore programming language fanboy bullshit. Yeah there were people that preferred certain languages over the other but the absolute hate towards people that use one language you particularly don't like, where the hell did that stem from?

If you don't like the language and project is written in, then don't contribute to it. It has no relevance to you if you're not a developer on it.

While I agree that torvalds picking any side is probably better than nothing, I honestly think that backing out of rust at this point is a mistake.
It be basically cementing the idea that the Linux kernel development can literally never change and that any attempts to change it will be fiercely resisted. Plus there are already drivers and such written in rust. Throwing all of that now would be a huge waste.
Brodie Robertson
@enthusiast101 As it currently stands those drivers basically don't exist, they will never be merged into the upstream kernel. I want Rust to actually be brought into the kernel but as it stands nothing is going to change.
