I’m of the opinion that a full rewrite in rust will eventually happen, but they need to be cautious and not risk alienating developers ala windows mobile so right now it’s still done in pieces. I’m also aware that many of the devs who sharpened their teeth on the kernel C code like it as it is, resist all change, and this causes lots of arguments.

Looking at that link, I’m not liking the MPL.

Rewrite the entire kernel exclusively in rust!

-hehehe-

When testing for permissions, I still giggle over trying to execute “touch this” then being told “can’t touch this”

I use both of these systems daily. They have some issues but are just fine for me. Honestly, they are just opposite extremes and I respect that. They each chose a side.

Whereas windows makes me scream. It’s absolute horseshit that pretends to claim some middle ground that makes no one happy.
