  • see, i could maybe agree with this if it weren’t for the amazing work from R4L that already has been and continues to be done, despite subsystems maintainers putting their foot down and going “Not In My Back Yard, bucko!”. how many more maintainers does R4L have to lose before Linus realizes he might need to take a stance as a project lead?





  • why they feel it’s Linus’ responsibility to make Rust happen in the kernel

    who does? are you talking about marcan? because as far as i can see, what they’re asking for is for linus to make a stance and actually say whether R4L is a thing they want or not. because linus’ attitude so far has been “let’s wait and see” which hasn’t been all that helpful, as said in the blog post.



  • fuck gatekeepers. the linux kernel doesn’t deserve new, talented people bringing fresh, useful and modern approaches to the project; their time and effort is only wasted there. i know it’s not right, but part of me wishes linux rots and something better takes its place.

    bitterness aside, i hope marcan gets the rest he needs. i wish him the best.





  • this matches my experience too. good IDEs or editors with LSP support allll the way.

    also wanna add that it’s weird to me that we turn to LLMs to generate mountains of boilerplate instead of… y’know, fixing our damn tools in the first place (or using them correctly, or to their fullest) so that said boilerplate is unnecessary. abstractions have always been a thing. it seems so inefficient.
