This kind of exchange was inevitable. The Rust crowd has this mentality that their code can be perfect (beyond even 'safe'), when in reality as long as your foundational system inputs and capacity aren't perfect, no downstream thing can be either. It's harder to see in user space but in the kernel you can't avoid reality. Hope the Rust crowd in general gets more moderate after this (or maybe not, but then that's only to the loss of Rust's long-term success).
