haha. it's something I could see Linus doing, tbh. So I wasn't sure. Thanks.
Yes, but he's doing it because he values the technological advantages of rust as a systems programming language, not because he likes to punish coders. In fact, rust has been the most loved programming languge for 7 or 8 years in a row now according to the big stack overflow survey, so it doesn't make much sense for the purpuse of punishment.
This satiric picture resonates with a certain community of conservative and overconfident C-programmers. It has been created by bryan lunduke, who is a reactionary dumb fuck.
