Are you aware that RfL is not outsider Rust enthusiasts pushing on the kernel, but rather existing Linux kernel developers wanting to use Rust?

- lukaslalinsky 2y agoInternal or external, it doesn't change much. Either Rust usage remains very isolated, or Rust takes Linux over and who doesn't want to deal with Rust should leave. Even the policy acknowledges, that the rust team being responsible for fixing broken rust builds is only temporary.
- 0x457 2y agoIs the goal to make a good kernel or to keep C developers happy? I don't see rust taking over C in kernel ever. re: broken rust builds You should think very very hard on when it can break and how it effects C side of things.
