For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don't. Please don't make assumptions. Thank you.

I'm safe physically, but I'll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Well that's sudden.

There's a lot of irony here for you to invent enemy "holy rust" people in your head while failing to see your own projection of "use my holy C I preach and stop preaching others".

I made no such claim about c nor am I saying it should be used in general, if you read what I wrote more carefully, I am actually against all that

Some old fashioned c++ and c developers, like me, feel more entitled to entrench more, and see Rust as a political movement, and not a serious tool.

I’m fairly reactionary against adding more Rust to stable projects.

You know, you have the choice to not fall victim to your own cognitive dissonance and instead help these people find common ground instead of being a dismissive stick in the mud right?

Maybe take the time to learn enough rust to see the other sides picture?

Not to mention it's highly unlikely you can link me to any specific project you yourself specifically run where this 'rust religion' has been a problem that actually exists.
