> Rust in the kernel does not and has never meant C developers will have to learn Rust That seems incorrect. If I am writing software which interacts with a component, then I need to be able to read it to understand what it’s doing. So if a software system includes Rust, then developers of the system will need to at least be able to read it. That’s not saying anything bad about Rust, at all: it’s just a property of developing in a shared codebase. Full disclosure: I dislike C but can read it, and I cannot read Rust. Rust sounds like it really is an improvement over C in many ways, but it does seem to suffer from some social problems. As a Lisp user, I can sympathise.
