I’m intrigued that the Linux kernel is moving beyond C and allowing Rust in the 6.1 kernel. It seems like a 30 year run of using C is long enough. Times change and the kernel has to change as well.
I don’t know much about Rust, but this makes me interested in taking a deeper look. Writing really solid C code is notoriously hard even using modern techniques to avoid buffer overflows and the like. If Rust makes it easier to create robust code, then all the better.
