       The latest round of "Rust in the kernel" discourse is really saddening.First, the way a number of the old timers (and maybe aligned new ones? I haven't followed closely) seem to be treating Rust folks is unacceptable.I do see why these ppl experience this as an existential threat both to minority archs and to the ability to easily build your own kernels, & to do so without the whole LLVM stack.But the response is not healthy, productive, or just.

       I also believe the whole technical side could be resolved in a way everybody would be happy with tooling that could transpile Rust sources into static C files that could be committed alongside Rust sources and allow anyone to build without additional tooling.

       The kernel devs being assholes side, though, I don't know how to solve.. 🤷
