Huh. Thank you very much for clearing that up - I don’t really watch LTT anymore (not really for a long time, even before the whole i n c i d e n t) so it’s great to have some perspective.
Shame, really.
Linus from LTT is not behind the Framework company/products: https://frame.work/gb/en/about
He may have done a video about them, but that’s about it.
It’s such a shame that Rust developers feel like they feel unwelcome, especially due to a complete misunderstanding in implementation details.
Even worrying, this is kernel developers saying they prioritise their own convenience over end user safety.
Google has been on a Rust adoption scheme, and it seems to have done wonders on Android: https://security.googleblog.com/2022/12/memory-safe-languages-in-android-13.html?m=1
But also, there is a bit of a problem to adopt Rust. I think the memory model may prove challenging to some, but I do worry in this case that even if it was super simple, the existing C kernel devs would still reject the code due to it not being C and not willing to adopt a new language.
