From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah, I agree with you that, realistically speaking, Rust people would probably complain when C code brakes their code, but I still think that this was not what Hellwig was talking about.
In my opinion, he was just being unreasonable when he told people that he would be doing everything he can to prevent anything else that's not C code from being merged into the kernel.
I mean, I understand his concerns of not wanting to deal with Rust code, but what he said is not contributing AT ALL to the discussion.
btw, I'm not the one downvoting your comments. I disagree with you but I think you are making some valid points.
Fair enough, I guess I would agree with you on the value it had to that discussion. I've just dealt with partial codebase transitions and it's a horror to fix anything.
And I couldn't give a shit about downvotes, or I'd just dogpile along with the groupthink in every thread like the rest of the Lemmings. I appreciate the discussion.
