Explains everything about you.

>Yes, Rust is a good programming language like C++, that's why they use it.
No, they don't use it because it's a good language. They use it because that's what the shareholders wanted.

The problem with that is they made a big change in the kernel based on an over hyped trend. You don't want a new language in an already bloated 20+ year old code base because it's the hot current thing everyone is talking about. Especially when the code quality is inconsistent or obfuscated and old code almost never being thrown away. It's just going to result in an unstable mess which is not „functional” or „reliable”.

>nobody uses this or that
You forgot to make a point.

>Whenever I think of BSD users, I think of unwashed homeless men with laptops on a garbage bin programming,
No, you don't. That was a reference to Richard Stallman. He's the face of the GNU project and the FSF in case you didn't know. He is dirty and gross and has been seen programming on his laptop on top of a trash can.

What you have said literally makes no sense because it's referencing something that has no correlation to BSD in anyway. Unlike Richard, Theo actually practices proper hygiene.

Not like anything you say makes sense anyway.

>because they think ifconfig* is more useful
It is.

>than a laptop that actually runs programs you'd wanna use.
Which programs don't work on BSD's that work on linux? Proprietary DRM porn games on steam don't count btw.

>they said that until the Licensing & Compliance Team took down two massive corporations in the 2000s with massive lawsuits, and everyone has been on their good behaviour since.
Everyone except: microsoft, which used GPL code in windows XP and didn't open-source it, redhat which made RHEL closed-source and everyone else that funds the development of linux and is in the foundation board.

GPL is worse than useless and hasn't solved any problems it claims to solve.
