  • Sure for newcomers to a project like the Linux kernel they have to learn C , because that is what the project is currently written in, but trying to transition the Linux kernel to rust forces people who already are contributing to go and learn rust to be able to continue what they were already doing. And sure you can argue that it’s being done so not everything has to go over at once, but there is a level of rust knowledge required at the interface between the two languages, and that burden is as far as I’ve seen being forced on those long term contributors.

    It’s not the same thing.











  • Literally all of them, but look at OpenSSL for a good example.

    Literally everything runs off it these days, and it’s like 3 guys and a trenchcoat working on it most of the time.

    It’s just how open source / the industry / people are. We all have our own stuff we want to do, so as long as the stuff your using works you don’t tend to care, and if it doesn’t you often don’t have the time or resources to do anything other than tell the owner to fix it.

    It’s not odd at all that people are willing to take the vaccines. Hundreds of doctors and scientists have been involved in the process of determining how viruses work, how the body fights them how we can use that to improve the bodies response and then how to safely package that for delivery to every person in the country.

    There is no blind faith here except for that of doubters, just literal thousands of hours of dedication and science.
