It’s the tool used to enshitification of Linux, that’s my problem. Tech and politics are indivisible. We’re on lemmy.ml so that should be a no-brainer.
Also, technically, it’s not very stable and there’s no alternative for the compiler.
Rust is the only reason I’m remotely interested in low level programming and potentially contributing to Linux. C and C++ are unreadable and vastly more confusing in terms of ecosystem to be worth dealing with for my own enjoyment. I don’t really understand the rust hate.
Others would say it’s open source who gaf what happens with it, the codes probably already in the training data for llms anyway. Depends on your philosophy of open source. I’d rather have gpl than mit, but I’d rather use rust than c I guess so such is my opinion

The reason was pretty well stated already.
If your contribution were MIT licensed, some would rather you hadn’t written a single line of ecosystem destroying code.
