I understand C just fine, hacked on kernels before, could easily write “safe C”. 1. I just don’t enjoy C. At this point after writing so much code “for profit” it’s no longer a hobby in itself. If I’m writing code “for purpose” I need to enjoy it! 2. While I trust myself just enough to write some C, I don’t trust everyone else to retain a strong foundation for whatever I’m building on top. 3. C has carried the Linux kernel for its first 40 years. Having used Rust it’s clear the future (while maybe not Rust) is definitely not C. I want to make a contribution that will endure the next 40 years of Linux.
