What's up with the Rust hate? If anything they should be the flat bar under AWS.
Mostly the circlejerk about how memory safety magically fixes all security holes for me
The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren't broken.
They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it's still fun to give them a hard time about it.
I think the real issue isn't the rewrites, it's the fact that Ubuntu started using the new Rust coreutils even though they weren't ready for production yet. uutils hasn't even reached version 1.0 yet, and still fails some compatibility tests.
It's an intermediate release, so the perfect time for Ubuntu to evaluate uutils for their next LTS
I've heard this argument before, and it makes no sense. You evaluate new core components internally as part of developing your distro, not in releases because "they're not LTS"
LTS is supposed to contain stable components though. They really should wait for a stable (1.0) release before committing to it.
