Disclaimer: I pretty much don’t like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.
Why would a programming language destroy an operating system?
No, no, the architectures! The Debian architecture (apparently)!
Partly it’s more of “destroy an ecosystem”. Among languages, Rust is at the frontlines of a continuing trend to remove GPL-licensed, community toolkits and put corporate-friendly, AI-friendly toolkits in their place, eg.: replacing
grepwithopenaigrep, which would basically be step 2 in the process of privatizing or corporatizing the Linux ecosystem (and leads to the loss of a number of user freedoms).Licenses don’t matter when corpos don’t care anyways. Especially for training LLMs. They don’t care about copyright. I choose to use tools based on there merits over simply going “it has my favorite license.” Even though I say that, I still prefer AGPL even though I understand that of the corpos want to steal, they’ll steal it.
The art was generated by AI, and likely the content and the text. Why are you all taking this so seriously?
