The reddit threads on this subject were interesting, with hundreds of comments in r/programming and r/linux all bemoaning the lack of Rust adoption in the kernel and the supposed mistreatment of the Rust maintainers.
Are these people just users with a strong opinion about what language their kernel uses? If they're Rust devs and reflective of how popular Rust is in general, where are all of the killer apps written in Rust? Why do Rust programmers seem to mostly just produce partial, feature-incomplete rewrites of Unix utilities?
