addition to the USB updates and big staging flush merged yesterday for the Linux 6.13 kernel merge window, the “char/misc” pull was also honored for that catch-all of various kernel changes. With the char/misc pull there are some notable additions for those wanting to write kernel drivers within the Rust programming language.
Wasn’t there some controversy with Rust in Linux recently? What happened with that?
Either way, good to see some real progress with Rust in Linux.
There will always be a controversy, we just don’t see each of it. The recent one you talk is probably about the talk a Rust developer was giving and where the toxic C dev didn’t let him speak. Or is there a more bigger and recent controversy? Nothing happened to it, it happened, people discussed it and now its history. Development continues and its in a good position as it seems.
Yeah I’m probably thinking of that one, and how it made the lead developer of the Rust in Linux project retire (because of ”nontechnical nonsense”)
