Linus finally found the ultimate disciplinary tool for kernel developers: threatening them with Rust. It's like telling your kids they'll have to eat vegetables if they don't behave, except the vegetables are memory safety and the kids are C programmers who've been writing unsafe code since 1991.
The satire nails it—Rust was "created as a way to punish software developers" who "really had it coming." Because nothing says punishment like borrow checkers, lifetimes, and compiler errors that read like philosophical dissertations. The best part? One developer is relieved it's not Perl. That's how you know things have gotten serious—when Rust is the *merciful* option.
Torvalds wielding Rust as a threat is peak Linux energy. "Shape up or you're rewriting that driver with lifetime annotations."
