Description:
The Software Engineering Radio podcast has put up an
interview with graphics maintainer Dave Airlie . Much of what is in
there will not be news to LWN readers, but it is an interesting overview of
the life of a large-subsystem maintainer. I was talking to a few of the Rust people, and I thought: these are
very young people, these are a group of people in their 20s, maybe
30s, they are a younger cohort of developers than the people I am
normally used to dealing with. I thought there was maybe a good
way we could bring these groups together. I think that having
young people coming into the kernel using Rust is valuable... So I
thought that I should be supportive of bringing Rust into the
kernel.
