>The reality is if someone like this doesn't see "the value" in rust then they should be required to find someone else who can be trusted as a maintainer to handle the code
Replacing maintainers that worked on a piece of code for years with someone else only because 'they don't see "the value" in rust" is insane.
>I don't know how folks like Linus actually expect rust to pick up in the kernel if we don't address the maintainers who clearly want nothing to do with this.
There are reasons why maintainers want nothing to do with Rust. Maybe, just maybe, improve Rust instead of complaining about Linux maintainers on social media, because in the end shouting into the void about it will improve absolutely nothing about the situation.
I'm calling it now, Rust in Linux will be gone in few years just like C++. The only reason why it hasn't been done yet is because more people are interested in Rust than in the hell called C++.
