For anyone who might not be aware, Rust has a Code of Conduct that includes such wonderful rules as "Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the code of conduct or not, are also not allowed," had a conference with 50% trans/"non-binary" speakers, and its community is generally full of "nontechnical nonsense" like promotion of trans politics.
So it's rich that this bastard wants to complain about C developers telling him to fuck off. He's a Microsoft employee too, so it's hard for me to not see this as pulling "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish" on the open source community by injecting it with radical leftist politics which are incompatible with an environment of meritocracy.
Specifically Ted Ts'o, who is one of the most prolific kernel maintainers. Probably 100x more valuable to the project than this Rust guy.
And Ts'o is absolutely correct: if the Linux kernel ends up moving in the direction where this Rust guy wants it to go, eventually he would have to learn Rust. Putting aside the simple fact that this happens on every project which uses multiple languages, the Rust guy saying he's fine with Rust being a "second class citizen" won't be fine with that status quo forever.

That reminds me of when anons found Apigee, a Microsoft spinoff.
Sam Ramji - "As Microsoft's senior director of platform strategy, his job is a big one: overseeing the company's initiatives in Linux and open source."
Bryan Kirschner - Microsoft's Director of Open Source Strategy from 1999-2009
Shanley Kane was the company's head of developer relation

The entire Rust community is genuinely a batshit insane cult.
It is aptly named Rust. They're the rust on humanity.

Crunchbase says that the company only had fourteen employees. Those are three of them. Anons were too distracted by the CEO's relationship with a guy named Dick Dong Wang to do any further research.
