Not true, numbskull.

Rust is a crutch, nay, a wheelchair, for incompetent C programmers.

Kohanna-Hartmann, the #2 kernel developer, indicates that virtually all
bugs that have crept into the kernel over the years are due to C programming
incompetence.

So what is the solution?  They want to bring in Rust as a crutch for these
stupid incompetents.

My solution would be to get rid of all the idiot C programmers.  Throw
them all out and bring in people who actually can wield C effectively.

That would be the best solution by far and would ensure the efficiency
and performance of the kernel for the long term.

Rust, in constast, would slowly pollute the kernel over time and create
a junk OS.

However, much of this may be moot.  After all, the critical portions
of the kernel are written in ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE and that is the best
language of all.

In conclusion:

Fuck Rust!  That language should be strangled in the cradle and
all Rust advocates should be given the noose.
