So does this mean that the C developers might need to learn Rust or cooperate more with the rust developer team basically? | ||

I guess in practice you'd want to have Rust installed as part of your local build and test environment. But I don't think you have to learn Rust any more (or any less) than you have to learn Perl or how the config script works. As long as you can detect if/when you break it, you can then either quickly pick up enough to get by (if it's trivial), or you ask around. | ||

Depends on the change being made. If they completely replace an API then sure, probably. But for most changes, like adding a param to a function or a struct, they basically have to learn nothing. Rust isn't unlike C either. You can write a lot of it in a pretty C like fashion. | ||

That's exactly the original question. | ||
