Is Rust the only programming language that is usable for this work?
- rollcat 1y agoSo far nearly all of the kernel/driver code in the modern (~1990+?) history of osdev has been written in C/C++. However it appears that Rust can make you incredibly productive, at the very least in experimental/explorative development based solely on reverse engineering. It's promising.
- sarlalian 1y agoNo, however it makes driver development easier and all the work to date is in rust, so changing languages would be exceedingly painful.
