Kind of. Go already has several other deal-breakers for systems programmers (garbage collected everything, runtime-provided greenthreading, etc). Rust is a lot closer to what Linus would approve for in-kernel development, but it still has a few problems, such as failed allocations panicking the system instead of returning an error that can be handled normally.
