minus-squareleisesprecher@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·16 days ago Replacing C with Rust in the upstream kernel is akin to replacing the engine in a car while it’s running or being used every day. That’s in no way what’s been proposed. Rust is used in a very well defined niche, nobody wants to get rid of C. But it’s just that sentiment that got us here, you’re arguing against a non-existent threat, and thus reject the whole proposal.
