I know a good number of people who will move away from Linux after Rust get in the kernel.

  time to fork it, pull out rust, and get that one active. that's what foss is all about.

  As someone who worked on kernel/OS code in C for many years, I'm very happy to see any language that doesn't sacrifice it's fit for embedded systems try to enter this space. I think it was a shame that go didn't prioritize the lower-level use cases like its ancestors and I think not falling into a NIH syndrome is wise and mature of Google. People will drop out because of change, and others will join or comeback. Life goes on.

  Rust is an absolute no brainer in my eyes after writing it almost exclusively for embedded platforms for the past 8 months.. But sure, it’s not fit for all legacy systems with parts of Linux probably included in that list

  What are those people's objection to Rust in the kernel? Do they prefer C's way of controlling and managing memory allocation?
