I don't see any future for Rust and forcing such ugly language in the kernel might lead to problems.
Linus is to blame here more than Rust. C++ would be much more straightforward and welcomed by the kernel community update from C. And Linus is afraid of C++.
Rust will kill Linux if it persists there long enough .
Solid bait there. 🍿
“C++ would be straightforward and welcomed”, amazing lmao. How do you even come up with this.

Lembot_0006 is to blame here more than C++. Zig/D/Hare/whatever would be much more straightforward and welcomed by the kernel community update from C. And Lembot_0006 is afraid of Rust.

Arcterus is to blame here more than Zig/D/Hare. Fennel would be much more straightforward and welcomed by the kernel community update from C. And Arcterus is afraid of Fennel.

Sounds interesting:
It does sound interesting, but I was mostly joking just to extend the copypasta.
I don't know enough about programming to know whether it's even suitable for writing a kernel. As far as I'm aware, Lua is mostly used for embedding scripts like in games, but the engines themselves are better written in C or Rust. I would assume a similar concept applies for writing a Kernel.
Perhaps it would have made more sense if I said Fortran or PS-Algol. It would have been more clear that it was a shitpost
I expect it's not suited for kernel, yeah, but it sounds like a fun thing to try other than for kernel stuff
I don't see any future for seatbelts, and forcing such an ugly implement in cars might lead to problems.
Seatbelts will kill cars if it persists there long enough.
The upper middle class family of a childhood friend refused to wear seatbelts (1980s) because mom was injured by her seatbelt in an accident. I remember being surprised at their approach to risk reduction.
It's anti vacc all over again!
I don't see any future for halos in F1 cars, and forcing such an ugly implement in cars might lead to problems.
Halos will kill F1 if they persist there long enough.
This but unironically
Haha I was fully expecting this comment when I wrote it. Hi fellow c/fuckcars lurker 👋🏽
This has to be one of the most brain dead comments I’ve read about Linux…. ever.
I think you mean: it is one of the most brain dead comments you have ever hurd about Linux.
I guess you're regularly committing to the kernel then?
Not one line, I tell you. Not a single one.
lmao
