The Software Engineering Radio podcast has put up an interview with graphics maintainer Dave Airlie. Much of what is in there will not be news to LWN readers, but it is an interesting overview of the life of a large-subsystem maintainer. I was talking to a few of the Rust people, and I thought: these are very young people, these are a group of people in their 20s, maybe 30s, they are a younger cohort of developers than the people I am normally used to dealing with. I thought there was maybe a good way we could bring these groups together. I think that having young people coming into the kernel using Rust is valuable... So I thought that I should be supportive of bringing Rust into the kernel.
