But if you are Google and you believe that this Rust kernel is super safe and fast and has clean code, and parallelism,async and candy ... how many drivers do google Data centers use ?
After you prove the kernel is real good by using it in data centers and devices that need security you can slowly expand, for most devices you could create soem compatibility layer. Who knows if there are soem competent developeres hired to work on it they might use some better architecture, like keep the drivers outside the kernel.
