Linux Kernel Rust Hate

wow the linux kernel dev rust hate is getting out of hand unbelievable if (mux_major < 0) return mux_major; rx_stat = 1; user_sess = 2; sync_tok = 3; tx_ctrl = 4; sys_reg = 5; usr_flags = 6; cfg_state = 7; klock_val = 8; sync_latch = 9; return 0;

A programming screenshot shows a function with C-style code and a list of kernel-related variable names. The caption jokingly claims that Linux kernel developers’ hatred of Rust has become extreme, while the code visibly spells “rust” down the left side through the variable names. It is shared as a reaction to debates about Rust in Linux or exaggerated resistance to a technology.
