      If you read the article, the main issue is not the fact that it’s Rust itself, but that it’s a second language entering the codebase. There’s definitely some validity to the argument.

      My personal view is that any C developer who doesn’t want to learn Rust is going to kick themselves once they do.

        They specifically name and shame rust as the shiny new language of the day. It does make it seem like a personal grudge against rust specifically.

        Sure. But I’ve seen quite a bit of push back against rust from these sorts even outside the kernel.
