I'm on Windows, though.

  If you have experience and interest in windows kernel modules programming, tell me, what did you find in your research? Are the methods described in these posts portable to the win kernel? Are there some other barriers you know of?

    As far as I know, the only languages supported for Windows kernel development are C and C++.

      Rust can expose a C ABI, so that means you could write Rust ones too, same mechanism as the Linux ones.

        The last time I looked, it seems there's a lot of platform work needed in Rust to support drivers in NT.

      Same as Linux kernel. I asked because the links show it's possible with some effort and you seemed to dismiss it. If you know of some specific extra barriers in windows kernel, tell us. But if you just meant that it's not officially supported... yeah, that's not a big problem.

        The Linux kernel does not allow for C++ code to be in-tree. There are folks who have managed to get some C++ code running in a kernel context, but I would consider it inadvisable.
