I don't know about embedded, but I'm quite happy with Linus' decision and appreciate that I can compile kernel on my laptop in reasonable amount of time.

- pjmlp 5y agoJust wait until Rust starts being used across the kernel, if compilation speed is an issue. At least with C++ most corporations actually use binary libraries, we aren't doing Gentoo style across our codebases.

Maybe some PoC things and stray FAANG-devs aiming for promotions, but it is highly unlikely I will need to have those drivers enabled. Hope Rust compilation times improve by the time it becomes mainstream in systems. > At least with C++ most corporations actually use binary libraries, we aren't doing Gentoo style across our codebases. This is not relevant for the kernel development (Linus' case) and doesn't match my experience working with C++ code bases for ~10 years.
