A screenshot of an email from Linus Torvalds discussing the proposed addition of Rust support to the Linux kernel. The punchline is the emphatic “HOWEVER” followed by concern about run-time failure panics, presenting a technical objection in a dramatic reaction-image format. It is shared when someone appears to approve of an idea but then delivers a serious caveat.
