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.

but there are literally dozens of strategies you probably don’t know about

Oh please tell me, wise old man! You can't be talking about garbage collection, reference counting, smart pointers, never-free, arenas, defer, or god forbid, the "I am perfect and can do it manually and never make mistakes" method. Because I know about all of those methods.

What are these other dozens of methods that I don't know about that mean Rust is unnecessary? 🙄
