I believe Linus responded to this very question. I recommend that you read through his email.

Basically, technology evolves, and you or anyone else can't stop that just because you don't like it for whatever nonsense (non technical) reason.

He also said in that same email regarding Rust that:

> nobody is forced to suddenly have to learn a new language, and that people who want to work purely on the C side can very much continue to do so.

So any argument that Rust would ever fully replace C in such a way that C would go away and be banned in the kernel is NOT what Linus said.

That’s a reasonable position today, but what about in 20 years?

Do you know what technology will look like in 5 years? Or even 1 year?

cuz if you do you're about to make a lot of money gambling on or shorting AI...

All I know is that RUST will lose skill issue and C will win
