it is just reality. in the 90s, everyone said 386BSD was going to be the next big thing and then BSDi bought 1-800-ITS-UNIX.
nothing about my statement says “use rust or else” also. i said that if the attitude of the Linux community (of which i am a contributing member) is to eschew innovation which will help to make Linux a more reliable kernel, then those focused on advancing software reliability will move onto other projects. this naturally includes competition with Linux.
you likely interact with thousands of lines of C i have written on a daily basis. if i were to write that code today maybe i would use Rust, but it’s about engineering, not ideology.
