Rust heads into the kernel?
I find it interesting how virulently opposed Linus was to introducing C++ to the kernel in contrast to the embrace of Rust. It made me think that the idea of another language in the kernel wasn&#x27;t the issue in itself, but that C++ was a bad language and Rust wasn&#x27;t, and also that there were tangible benefits to adopting Rust like memory safety that couldn&#x27;t be had with C.<p>I do hope that Rust doesn&#x27;t suffer from an explosion in complexity and compile times, though. Memory safety and overengineering shouldn&#x27;t have to go hand in hand.
