How confident are you in this statement? I have no particular knowledge of Asahi. But I do know this narrative emerged about Rust-for-Linux after a couple of high-profile individuals quit.
In that case it was plainly bogus but this was only obvious if you were somewhat adjacent to the relevant community. So now I'm curious if it could be the same thing.
(Hopefully by now it's clear to everyone that R4L is a healthy project, since the official announcement that Rust is no longer "experimental" in the kernel tree).
I know Asahi is a much smaller project than R4L so it's naturally at higher risk of losing momentum.
I would really love Asahi to succeed. I recently bought a Framework and, while I am pretty happy with it in isolation... when I use my partner's M4 Macbook Air I just think... damn. The quality of this thing is head and shoulders above the rest of the field. And it doesn't even cost more than the competition. If you could run Linux on it, it would be completely insane to use anything else.
