From the story it appears that some bloke sent a threatening email to the girlfriend of one Kashyap Patel
FTFY

It really is simple. Rust zealotry is 100 percent fact and provable.
Ubuntu 25.10.
What is a foundational tenet of Linux? "We do not break user-space."
But, we do for Rust. Why? Because Rust MUST move forward at speed. Can't pass tests? Fuck it. Works good enough.
Breaks user-space? Yes, but not all the time and not for most people. We are accepting Rust CoreUtils for no other reason that it must be.
It has been decreed. Ubuntu about CoreUtils is Bill, "Fuck it, we'll do LIVE!".
Large performance hiccups, failing tests? Does not matter. Pushing it live will bring the issues to light and we can fix it all over time.
What? That is not how this has ever worked. We do not break user-space. Especially on purpose so we can speed up Rust development.
Rust replacements should exist. Rust replacements should make there way into the systems we are using every day to make things more secure. Rust replacements should work though and not break user-space. If is not an acceptable replacement if it were written in C, then it is not one just because it is written in Rust. Real commands, real scripts, real jobs fail. Anything that works as a drop in replacement should be accepted. (Preferably because it is provably better, not just, "Written in Rust though!". Anything that does not, should not be a default in the release and should stay in the background, getting better till it is ready.

Anything other than that is religious zeal, not making a better Linux.

Because then it would not be religious zealotry? :)

Ubuntu 25.10
Is that evidence enough? "We do not break user-space."
Unless it is to implement Rust based tools in spite of knowing that they fail tests and break user-space. KNOWINGLY
There is definitely a problem. Not with creating Rust. Not with replacing things that can be replaced.
When thought, they knowingly break a foundational rule to implement their religion, it makes the point.

No one is saying that it could not be good.
That said, if you replace parts of the system with incomplete parts because the Rust tool chain is incomplete, you get angry people yelling about how the new Rust replacement can not do the things that they counted on that system to do. Then the Rust zealots tell us why we don't need to do that and that we should completely recode everything we have to work with the new hotness.
"We do not break user-space"
Unless it is done to Rustify something. Then, fuck user-space? No.
Rust should do some stuff. Work where it is complete and can do the WHOLE job. Work on completing the tool chain and build replacements that you can build correctly without shitting all over, "We do not break user-space". If Rust was sticking to that, the world would be moving slowly toward a better, safer place.
As it is, Rust is creating enemies in places where it never needed to.

They are also upstanding members of the UN Human Rights Council. China buys awards.

Pain for sure.
That said, we have traded good paying jobs for cheap imported goods.
Now, that cheap, imported goods are coming from countries that want to see us become part of China and a lot of these pieces of equipment can cause massive security issues, we are faced with a situation in which in order not to die, we have to suffer.

Rust could be awesome, if it developed like a normal language instead of a religion.
The religious zeal and the push to Rustify things that are harmed by premature Rustification makes Rust and the Rust community look really bad.

I say take the cash and open a new company under different management and build more offshore wind turbines, now that you have a billion.

Chinese EV's.
They are like 8lb fake gold chains.
Looks like you are a fashionable fool. In reality though it is just cheap trash.
The only difference is that the Chinese EV can set fire to your garage, and will.

you know, living is harmful to your life, every day is getting you closer to death. Eating many foods is harmful, drinking many things, breathing the air in many parts of the world and during different weather conditions. Having sex may be harmful, it can degrade your quality of life in the long term.

There are millions of harmful things, you will die and everyone else as well. I am not proposing for everyone to do everything, I am saying - if you enjoy it, don't allow people to dictate to you, do it.

you do understand we live only once, what's wrong with porn, gambling and drugs? Enjoy it if you want it.

How will all the Reddit tards figure out how to get in if there is any form of barrier?

is that a serious comment?

Many countries are in fact moving rapidly toward dumb citizens and authoritarian state to protect them.
