If everyone had your attitude, humanity would have never left the trees. There are all sorts of legitimate reasons to take it slow on adding Rust to the kernel and adopting Rust generally. The language is far from perfect.

But "I don't want to learn something new"? No, that's not a legitimate reason.

But Christ almighty, you don't get to block progress of all humanity (and Linux is a humanity scale project now) because you're too lazy to learn some new syntax. Memory safety is important. Memory safety bugs cause billions of dollars of damage every single year. The project if solving them is too important to get tangled up in the weeds of people who don't have "resources" to RTFM.
