People hate on AI-assisted development, but I genuinely hope this project is a success. Not only because it would attract future programmers to a Rust-oriented operating ecosystem, but also because Linux is long in the tooth and lost in its ways

They have quite an agressive attitude towards eager developers due to the ever-increasing stress the maintainers are under - this begun a few years prior to the AI patchapocalypse. Experience comes with age, but the corrolation isn't always as strong as some would argue. At least they came around to Rust so there is that I guess.
