Comment on How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare
semperverus@lemmy.world 1 week agoI think my biggest gripe with the Culture of Rust is that they keep trying to force it into the Linux kernel and utilities, but even worse than that, they keep trying to replace things WITH DIFFERENT LICENSES.

Putting aside the ideological discussion about software licenses, saying that “they” are forcing Rust into the Linux kernel is a bold claim when Linus Torvalds clearly doesn’t mind the inclusion and even encourages it for example in driver code, at least as an experiment.

He really wasn’t at first, and it was extremely clear that he allowed it in as an olive branch to the Rust community. A “let’s see if I’m wrong by giving it a chance” moment.
