How many other languages have been merged to Linux other than C and Rust? Zero. (Ignore perl scripts, etc) Did you look at the PR that was merged? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8aebac82933ff1a7c8eede18cab11e1115e2062b https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... This is not trivial work. This will only get over better over time (with funding), all for safe and secure Linux for the mass!! The only thing that concerns me now is the Rust code in kernel is not GPLv2. Not sure if that's intentional.
