Here's the scolding Linus SHOULD have given Hellwig MONTHS ago.
I said it before and I'll say it again. Martin was wrong, and got treated fairly. He threw tantrums and stirred drama instead of acting like a maintainer.
But. That didn't make Hellwig right. He wasn't right. He was way out of line and over his skis, being hostile for hostilities sake.
Unfortunately many rust programmers already have a sour taste in their mouth regarding Linux development, which is a huge loss for the progress of the project.
