Parent article: Eventual Rust in CPython

Getting others to commit to *keep your OS or architecture working for you* is a very, very big ask.

As someone who wants to keep the software I maintain working on minority hardware and software, I certainly won't use Rust in its current state for it. And reading some of the opinions expressed in the present discussion makes me happy that our project does not depend on CPython.

Thanks, that’s a statement that’s nice to read.

I’m also always surprised how ⓐ people go from “please merge my patches and just try to not actively break my arch” to “forcing others to commit to keep your OS or architecture working for you”, and ⓑ why that would even be onerous.

I mean, I’m not in the habit of writing shitty code that fails on other CPUs or (unixoid, mostly, as the things I write tend to target unixoid) OSes.
