For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I've paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

I can't share any more information at this time, so please don't ask for more details. Thank you.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don't. Please don't make assumptions. Thank you.

I'm safe physically, but I'll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Well that's sudden.

I'd say that trying to get Rust everywhere is just something that is done in the hope it will help the ecosystem mature faster. It's a bit hard to compete with languages that are 30, 40, or over 50 years old

I think it will grow! One day it will compete that way
