Linus' opinion on Ada (vs Rust):
> We've had the system people who used Modula-2 or Ada, and I have to say Rust looks a lot better than either of those two disasters.

Linus has learned that anything he says is potentially going to quoted and quoted over and over again. So it seems like he only talks in extremes now. I always tend to look at it like he likes rust more than the other two and nothing more.
If he said the other 2 are alright, people would run with that quote, and vice versa.
