I also disagree with his take that the Kernel could be replicated in Rust by 6 motivated volunteers in 4 or 5 years. That could be said of many projects, you could probably reproduce AAA entertainment software with such a team in such a span of time, but the trick is getting these people to stay on track, fed, and satisfied for that time. Who's going to pay for their rent/mortgages? Are they just not going to work for the duration?
It's naive grandstanding in the best of cases, and malicious proselytizing in the worst.
