C won't be disappearing tomorrow, says the stable kernel maintainer, but the future of Linux belongs to Rust.

      What’s a rust programmer? Someone who’s ever written anything in it? If the same holds true for C, probably a higher percentage than of ‘C programmers’ given how long that’s been a teaching language lol

          In that case, stil reckon a higher proportion ofl Rust devs contribute to Linux than C devs

              That’s still rather recently, and there’s rather a large stock of ‘before people’ hanging around. But I agree inasmuch as it’ll change as time goes by and one day you’ll be right.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
