Linus responds to Hellwig - "the pull request you objected to DID NOT TOUCH THE DMA LAYER AT ALL... if you as a maintainer feel that you control who or what can use your code, YOU ARE WRONG."

You mean the operating system with a cuckold license? Nothx
I'm personally not a fan of permissible licenses, but you don't need to bring your fetishes up in every conversation.

Are we hating on Linus here or agreeing with him? I'm so out of the loop.
He has very solidly worded points and correct analysis of the problem. 100% agree with what was written by Linus.

Rust is great, but you are not thinking from a long-term project perspective. Rust is safer, but Linux needs to be maintainable or it dies.
Based on what you're saying, the only way its going to reasonably be converted to Rust is if someone forks Linux and matches all the changes in C as they happen but converts it all to Rust. Once its all converted and maintainability has been proven, a merge request would need to be made.
I can't fathom how do you mean Rust is not maintainable. If anything for a new programmer C code is much more mind boggling than Rust.
Writing in Rust might make it much more maintainable.

See this is the problem with Rust people, they always misconstrue you saying "mixing two languages together makes a project less maintainable" to mean "rust is unmaintainable."
This is why the disagreement between Hector and Christoph happened in the first place.
Do better, reddit_sux
