Rust is a psyop

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Rust has its uses, it certainly has its place in the world of languages. I think if you are making a new low level project, rust is a good pick.

The Rust4Linux project was always fundamentally going to create disagreements and strife. Lots of angry headbutting was to be expected. It happening in such a public way, with sizeable collateral damage, was not.
