i think the feeling i have about rust in linux was in seeing the resignation of a maintainer earlier where they said something like "sooner or later a memory-safe kernel is going to do to Linux what Linux did to Unix" - and my overriding thought was "cool, that's the kernel you should be working on!"

if you build it, we will come. especially if it's better, but you know, some of us will show up just to check it out.

but you have to really *believe* that something can replace Linux at this point - and muscling in on Linux suggests that in fact, you really, *really* don't.

and if you don't have confidence in your shit, why should anyone else?
