Anyone feel like we get a "Linux Rust support" post every month lately?
Feels a bit like the "new more efficient battery technology" recurring post.
edit: to precise it's not that I'm not supportive of the effort, just that it would be nice to just have a post when it's actually merged. The title is a bit deceptive
- mpartel 5y agoIf enough people find it interesting enough to follow, why not?
- Shadonototro 5y agoyou can't trust and randomly follow "people", they don't exist
- ndesaulniers 5y agoThat's because the "merge window" is open once every ~2 months; this is the second time this series is being sent, with improvements based on feedback from v1.
- _ph_ 5y agoI quite appreciate the reports. I normally don't follow the linux kernel development, but the possible support of Rust is one major step for the kernel which is hugely interesting. The Linux kernel has become one of the most, if not the most important piece of IT infrastructure. Progress of any further developments of it as well as the security itself are prime concerns for all users. So far the development was solely limited to C, with all the tradeoffs. It is highly interesting to see whether a more modern language can be incorporated and the Rust effort looks very promising. Both from the language capabilities as well as the progress being made.

- pjmlp 5y agoAny UNIX clone that decides to have other languages alongside C on their internals is welcomed news, Ada, C++, Java, Objective-C, Swift and yes Rust.
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoAre there any interesting OSs in the others? I know about redox, but I haven't heard of anything outside of C and rust.
