There is a reason why eating popcorn is a guilty pleasure.

Please remember that it's called Climate Change these days because it allows to tax the weather (people) regardless of what's going or not going on. It's the Swiss army knife of the future global religion.

rust hating will probably get kicked into high gear when bcachefs soon gains a hard dependency on rust.

The global warming is due to the excessive heat generated from the machines which now have to run the Rust compiler to build linux

It would be interesting to see how file system written in Rust compares to C equivalent. In terms of bugs, performance and development speed.

Actually the Climate Change name like the CO2 footprint was pushed by the oil industry to defer action demands to them. The learned that from the tobacco industry. 😉

I'm not sure that the page resource management of the file system can be well expressed with borrow checker.

I looked into rust and many of my safe pattern were not expressible by it. I hope they can extend that. I know it is not easy but if they want successful they have to improve that.

Climate Change is used and will be used for many reasons, not just one. Just like invading a country isn't just done for the oil, there's many opportunities to make money from enslaved countries and oil is just one of them. Just ask the British (Empire), they know how it's done.
