Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The kernel is mostly written in C, by C developers... understandably they're rather refactor C code to make it better instead of rewritting everything in the current fancy language that'll save the world this time (especially considering proponents of said language always, at every chance they get, sell it as C is crap, this is better).
Linux is over 30yo and keeps getting better and more stable, that's the power of open-source.
You can't teach old dogs new tricks.
You can, but you can't turn a 30 year project on a dime. They're understandably frustrated that newcomers keep coming and screaming RUST RUST RUST RUST RUST
