Nice bit of spicy Linus to start the day.
Good though, these dinosaur maintainers really need to wind their necks in. From what I've seen so far, Rust is the best tool for the job in the situations where it's been used. I struggle to see anything more from the detractors than a toddler tantrum about having to learn a new language—particularly given the current situation where they've been treated with kid gloves and are allowed to ignore it entirely.
