It’s bad that we’re in an all-time low percentage of politically minded Linux users, in another era Rust would never be close to the Linux kernel or would pose as a threat to GNU/GPL.
It’s the tool used to enshitification of Linux, that’s my problem. Tech and politics are indivisible. We’re on lemmy.ml so that should be a no-brainer.
Also, technically, it’s not very stable and there’s no alternative for the compiler.
Rust is the only reason I’m remotely interested in low level programming and potentially contributing to Linux. C and C++ are unreadable and vastly more confusing in terms of ecosystem to be worth dealing with for my own enjoyment. I don’t really understand the rust hate.
Ah yes a programming language determines the mental state and acuity of the person using it. This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever read in my entire life. Are you sure you aren’t the one we need to test with such ludicrous ideas?
Not what I meant. The Rust language appeals a particular type of neuro type especially. And with that neurotype, there comes some specific design behaviours.
I think it’s pretty obvious. Corpos are doing the EEE approach in the Linux ecosystem.
Yeah, the ‘for reasons I don’t quite understand’ bit was intended slightly sarcastically.

Why is Rust your problem here? It’s a fantastic language. The issue is licensing

Hrmmm. And I wonder what diagnosis you have or should be tested for…
