> It would make me 10x more likely to work on the kernel Seconding this. I don't think I would ever touch the Linux kernel with a twenty-foot-pole in C. In Rust? Maybe I'd give it a try and contribute one day. Knowing the exact set of constraints on my code, having them enforced, not having to hold the entire system in my head just to avoid a catastrophic memory error. These things make contributing to a project - especially one as incomprehensibly large and complex as the Linux kernel - orders of magnitude easier.
