> The concern from those contributors (and we might soon see the same in QEMU) is that these bindings are essentially a weaponization which forces the great majority of contributors to learn Rust or drop out. Essentially a hostile takeover.

No, it just means that when their changes are ready, if they break the Rust bindings then then just need to fire off an email to the Rust people to update the binding. This is no different than having to get an approval before merging a branch. They don't have to code differently at all. It just slows down the merge. That's it.

At present it doesn’t even slow down the merge! The whole point of the experiment is to get experience without interfering with the regular development of the kernel. It’s allowed to be broken by non-Rust work, and as you mentioned the Rust folks are wiling to do the work on that side.
