I apologize if I was unclear. Obviously other languages have type safety. But a language like Haskell is not very suitable for writing a kernel. I believe Rust is the language that has the right feature set and momentum to even have any hope of being taken seriously for such a task.
- laumars 5y agoRust isn’t even the only mature systems language that offers memory safety. In this thread people have thrown Haskell and Perl as examples of languages not suitable for writing a kernel and while they’re right it’s still a straw man argument because they’re exampling languages that nobody is advocating for kernel development.
