From Jason Gunthorpe, maintainer of 5 Linux kernel subsystems:
IMHO the current situation of Rust does not look like success. It is basically unusable except for unmerged toy projects and it is still not obvious when that will change.
Today I learned that my Apple AGX GPU driver, which is the kernel side to the world's first and only OpenGL and Vulkan certified conformant driver for Apple Silicon GPUs, and also the FOSS community's first fully reverse engineered driver to achieve OpenGL 4.6 conformance, and which is used by thousands of Asahi Linux users in production, and that literally has never had an oops bug in production systems not caused by shared C code (unlike basically every other Linux GPU driver), is "an unmerged toy project".
(He works for Nvidia, I guarantee he's heard of it, considering we beat nouveau and NVK to GL 4.6 conformance.)
I guess this is what Linux kernel maintainers think of us Rust developers, that we only write "toy projects"...
@lina I think you need a line break. I was confused where the quote ends.
@botahamec I think that must be something with your client/instance? It's very clear on the Mastodon/Glitch web and on Tusky.
@jpetazzo @botahamec Sounds like it strips block quote formatting and also collapses it with the next element. You should probably file a bug ^^
@lina @botahamec Good idea, I just did! Thank you (your concise and accurate wording of the issue was really helpful! 
)
