I understand you're emotional and frustrated (as are other parties), but your framing here is disingenuous. No one is 'openly admitting to attempting to sabotage the entire Rust for Linux project'. You are encountering one of the known challenges of the project, and arguments against a cross-language codebase have merit. Existing maintainers have every right to push back where they see fit, as you have every right to advocate.
I'd be more sympathetic, but attempting to weaponize the CoC here really reflects poorly on you. You should focus on solving the problem, you might not succeed, but trying to drum up an army rather than doing the work casts you unfavorably IMO.
I broadly agree.
However, "Existing maintainers have every right to push back where they see fit" is tenuous when the Linux project as a whole has already (exhaustively) discussed and debated this exact question alongside all the other questions about adding Rust, and the explicit declared direction is that Rust should become an increasingly large part of the Linux kernel.
Who explicitly declared this? Where?

I have seen that interview. Neither the excerpt you quoted nor the rest of the interview is what Thinker@lemmy.world claimed.
Let me guess, you get your Linux kernel development news from youtube?
Well said.
Agreed.
To be fair, though, OP's username does say that he is a twelve-year-old. :)
The OP is not marcan, at least as far as I know.
