This is the wildest single thing I've ever seen on HN. You decided it would be a good use of your time to try to explain - straight to someone's face - why you hate them. As though you were filing a Jira ticket about a human being. And you thought that was a good use of your time on this Earth. > Not once do you ask, as someone who is intellectually curious might: "Maybe Rust is trendy because it provides lots of interesting and useful features. Perhaps I/Drew should try this new language, then I'd have some basis for the many graphs I wrote about 'Trendiness'." From the article that you clearly barely bothered to read, and whose author you're accusing of a lack of curiosity: >> I might even jump in and build out a driver or two for fun myself, that sounds like a good opportunity for me to learn Rust properly with a fun project with a well-defined scope. |

That's not exactly what I intended.
When I said "hater", I was poking fun at myself for being a "hater." Informally, in the US, a hater is simply a negative or critical person. You don't want to be described as a "hater", and I self-applied the term. But since "hate" is perhaps too strong a term for this forum (or is too US centric?), I disclaim that word as describing my feelings towards Drew, and apologize to him if I was misunderstood (Drew, I'm sorry!).
Now that we are past that word, how I feel about Drew and his writing is laid out in the parent comment.
> I mean, Drew literally says this in the article you're commenting on
I think you may have mixed up the two posts to which I was referring. It could be I wasn't clear enough.
At that part of my comment, I was referring to his initial post: "Does Rust belong in the Linux kernel?" See: https://drewdevault.com/2022/10/03/Does-Rust-belong-in-Linux...
>> I might even jump in and build out a driver or two for fun myself, that sounds like a good opportunity for me to learn Rust properly with a fun project with a well-defined scope.
I'm not sure how Drew claiming he might write a Rust driver in the future lends Drew credibility here? At least not the credibility I indicate is missing from Drew's post.
However, maybe I'm missing something?
