The Register’s summary: Torvalds weighs in on ‘nasty’ Rust vs C for Linux debate
I don’t want to watch a video about it.
I’d like to know it, but a couple of sentences wouldn’t have hurt
FWIW, it’s a 9 min video and doesn’t contain anything earth shattering or easily summarized. Basically there is some friction between C and Rust devs, and Linus doesn’t think that it’s such a bad thing (there has be interesting discussion) and it’s way too early to call Rust in the kernel a failure.
Thx!
This summary seemed pretty good though.
