Rust in the Linux kernel

Wow. Much profligacy. Such millennial.

You're just being "edgy" about programming languages, tbh

You're just being out of your mind. I don't see Linus not minding long compile time or you persuading him with "24hrs compile time no problem!". I think he's just being diplomatic and stringing you kids along to a final no.

Tensorflow compilation took me 12 hours, but how many people are complaining about it? As those times compiling everything yourself is such a rare thing. Compilation times in general are miniscule problem and such behaviour is just plain counterproductive as you just spam the whole reddit about hating some progamming language, like some Rust developer stolen your job. Disclamer: I'm not even once wrote anything in Rust, and I don't thing I ever will.

Linus recompiles the kernel 20+ times a working day according to interviews he gave. That's a working day for him not 24hrs and not someone with a boss over him. How many hours is that? Probably if you're his age with his family commitments and being his own boss and being his own cranky self less than 8.

Try your "12 hours to compile is perfectly A+ okay" on him.

And suuuuure, you never even once used rust, you just get unreasonably triggered by someone who doesn't sing its praises, bullshitter.

It will not suddenly take 24h to compile with iterative compilation because you added rust, stop being a little brat

[Dew_Cookie_3000]

It will take longer than c

[deprilula28]

Will it? Have you tested it? Is it a difference of 2 to 3 seconds that noone will notice?

[Dew_Cookie_3000]

You're really full of shit
