Following arguments on the Linux kernel mailing list the past few days over some Linux kernel maintainers being against the notion of Rust code in the mainline Linux kernel and trying to avoid it and very passionate views over the Linux kernel development process, Asahi Linux lead developer Hector Martin has removed himself from being an upstream maintainer of the ARM Apple code.

    Damn, Linus really went out of his way to say:

    How about you accept the fact that maybe the problem is you. You think you know better. But the current process works. It has problems, but problems are a fact of life. There is no perfect. However, I will say that the social media brigading just makes me not want to have anything at all to do with your approach. Because if we have issues in the kernel development model, then social media sure as hell isn’t the solution. The same way it sure as hell wasn’t the solution to politics. Technical patches and discussions matter. Social media brigading - no than\k you.

      …but still fails to answer the question of “should we continue implementing kernel things in rust”.

          Marcan calls Torvalds for arbitration ; Torvalds delivers heated-up scolding instead ; Linux looses talent.

          Torvalds sure is shit at managing humans

            I assume being the extreme level coder dev types that program logic all day start seeing life has black and white, and generally humans are not like that.
