Why would the first non-c language allowed in the kernel be a language that doesn’t even have a standard? Also we’re bringing NPM style supply chain problems to the kernel now? And this is done in the name of security? It’s not the language itself I don’t like, I would like rust a lot more if it had a standard and didn’t have a supply chain (aptly named cargo) problem. It’s pretty obvious to me that software took a nosedive when finding a package became considered a good way write high quality software.
