> If they want kernel in rust, they should write kernel in rust like google does with fuchsia.

Fuchsia is written mainly in C++.

> Rust is such a cancer... attaching to popular projects and destroying them - why don't they do this with llvm, huh ? because they would have to deal with at least dependency hell, proper compiler boostrapping procedure, etc.

LLVM: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project
I can use the same argument about the kernel, just use redox (cranelift) if you don't like C: https://gitlab.redox-os.org/redox-os/redox and leave kernel(LLVM) alone ?

I was wrong about fuchsia though...

The decision to use Rust will be done by actual Linux developers.

And nobody is forcing you to use the mainline Linux. If you so dislike Rust, then you are totally free to fork Linux and maintain your own Rust-less fork.
