Torvalds weighs in on 'nasty' Rust vs C for Linux debate
Briefly

"I'm not sure why Rust has been such a contentious area. It reminds me of when I was young and people were arguing about vi versus Emacs. Maybe they still are! But for some reason, the whole Rust versus C discussion has taken almost religious overtones."
"Clearly, there are people who just don't like the notion of Rust, and having Rust encroach on their area. People have even been talking about the Rust integration being a failure ... We've been doing this for a couple of years now so it's way too early to even say that."
"So I see the whole Rust thing as positive, even if the arguments are not necessarily always [so]. One of the nice parts about Rust has been how it's livened up discussions."
