The only person to get to have it both ways it seems is Linus. In the past he's railed against c++ and it would be cold day in hell to see c++ code in linux.

To be fair, it's his tree. On the other hand, I am a little worried that Linus has been hypocritical in the past few years, but most of us get soft as we age I guess.

What is both ways about it here? The argument against C++ was never about a multi-language codebase being unacceptable.

Linus seems to genuinely believe that Rust is superior to C++.

Having used both, I agree.
