Rust For Linux Kernel Co-Maintainer Formally Steps Down (www.phoronix.com)

Alex Gaynor recently announced he is formally stepping down as one of the maintainers of the Rust for Linux kernel code with the removal patch now queued for merging in Linux 6.19.

Alex Gaynor was one of the original developers to experiment with Rust code for Linux kernel modules. He's drifted away from Rust Linux kernel development for a while due to lack of time and is now formally stepping down as a listed co-maintainer of the Rust code. After Wedson Almeida Filho stepped down last year as a Rust co-maintainer, this now leaves Rust For Linux project leader Miguel Ojeda as the sole official maintainer of the code while there are several Rust code reviewers.

the myth of the safe C programmer

I learnt C around about 1997 and I've used it off and on professionally since about 2006. I am not a myth, and there are many others like me.

What do you want me to write?

Can you point to relevant non-trivial public work of yours that has zero CVE's?

The more you learn and know, the more you refrain from making such statements. This is universally applicable, and not limited to C or programming. And that's what makes your "story" suspect.

Or maybe it's a reading comprehension issue.

That's quite an insulting insinuation, and no, I'm not going to doxx myself on my pseudonymous piefed account.

Super-human claims require evidence. And asking for that evidence is not an insult.
