There’s been a couple of mentions of Rust4Linux in the past week or two, one from Linus on the speed of engagement and one about Wedson departing the project due to non-technical concerns. This got me thinking about project phases and developer types.

Talks about different developer styles, slightly interesting and not too long winded I guess, but not much about the actual situation.
I think this is still not such a great look for Rust. I had expected interfacing Rust to C to present fewer problems than it seems to. I had hoped the Rust compiler could produce object code with almost no runtime dependencies, the way C compilers can. So integrating Rust code into the kernel should be fairly painless from the C side, if things were as one would hope.
It does sound to me in the earlier post that there was some toxicity going on. Maybe it had something to do with the context being a DRM driver.
I looked at a few Rust tutorials but they seemed to take forever to get to any interesting parts. I will keep looking.
