Rewriting the device drivers would be huge. Having been tasked with "Make a QEMU environment safe against advanced attackers" memory safety issues in device drivers were by far the most concerning issue, and the hardest to mitigate.
- jeffreyrogers 6y agoRust definitely has that advantage. The downside is most device driver programmers know C, not Rust. So if you want other people to work on your driver you either have to expect them to want to work on it badly enough to learn Rust or to already know Rust.
