That was amusing to read, some interesting thoughts and reflections. I have no horses in this race - I don't write neither C nor Rust on a daily basis, can someone tell me about the current state of affairs, is there any Rust in the Linux kernel yet? Or the merits of that decision are still being disputed?

The general idea is 'ultra complex syntax' languages does not belong to the kernel.

That said, inline assembly should be optional and many c11 ISO tantrums should not be there too...

Rust is a promising language, but it's being hobbled by the culture of it's "community".

I hope Zig makes it into the kernel one day!
