How long can the C languages maintain their primacy in the kernel?
Linux people doing Linux things, it seems.

Is there an email thread where c and rust Linux kernel devs actually discuss what's about? Because so far I see some Linux drama and I have no slightest clue what's about
Rust guys want to make the kernel safer, more expressive, and easier to maintain. To do that they need to know how the kenrnel talks between its parts to ensure they are creating matching behavior. The C guys don't really care about the Rust guys and say that they can't be bothered to guarantee interoperability because they like to change how things work on the C side to make things better in the C code.
