@1ace@mastodon.gamedev.placeI'm glad Hellwig is no longer blocking Rust development in the Linux kernel, but I feel like some of the posts I'm seeing about it are unnecessarily harsh: he did good work too, and I hope we can avoid driving him away from contributing altogether.
If nothing else, some of his refactoring work has helped the rust devs as they would have had to do it themselves otherwise to make the C side clean enough for Rust bindings.
Thank you, Christoph Hellwig!
@1ace absolutely agree. It's a pity he's decided to leave, he's genuinely extremely talented and has done so much for the kernel.
I fundamentally disagree with his view on rust, but as you say, that doesn't take anything away from the rest.
@1ace I don't think he is leaving the kernel either, he maintains lots of stuff and will probably retreat more as rust encroaches. I'm kinda reminded of the north and south facing Zax and the world just routes around them.
