Good question, it’s not. You're responding to just another Rust and/or LLM fanatic claiming they can predict the future. Dime a dozen on this board.


I will that the Rust fanatic mantle thank you very much. Check your sources though [1]. I dont predict the future I just listen to Linus.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it takes more than Linus to make Linux.


I suspect you wouldn't be saying that if he had agreed with you.


I wouldn’t be saying that it takes more than Linus to build Linux if Linus agreed with me?

What on earth are you talking about? Don’t quit your day job to become a detective.


Absolutely. If Linus had said "Rust for Linux might go away" then you would have said "See! The creator and leader of Linux says Rust is going to go away!" but because he said it is here to stay you're saying "Pff, Linus isn't that important."

I won't quit my day job to become a detective because actual detective work isn't this trivial.


Do you think everyone you speak to online is this misinformed or has these takes?

I’ve read and listened to enough of Linus to know he says this himself. The Linux kernel is nothing without the maintainers, this is easily observable and everyone knows it.

You see the reason you shouldn’t go into detective work is because you’d be terrible at it, not because it’s non-trivial.


Hey let’s not put the Rust fanatics in the same bucket as the LLM bros. One is a safe programming language, the other is an overgrown lorem ipsum text generator. We’re not the same :)


The fact that you’re both getting lumped in the same shill bucket together should give you pause.


Yes, I paused to comment and moved on
