"R4L dies" is hyperbolic nonsense. There are many ways/places to integrate Rust in the kernel, even for wrappers. It's not like "I think this code should be someone else" automatically means the death of Rust.

I took a ~20 minute 12km taxi ride just last Monday, and it was about €22. That's in Ireland. Considering fuel, the drive back for the driver, and that taxis have a lot of downtime, that seems like a reasonable price. You live in Nethe

Most of these things really don't matter, and it all just boils down to "that's not how I would have written it". Well, okay, but that doesn't mean that's somehow objectively better.

Agreed. That said, I do think Zig as a language seems like the better choice here. When Rust was first introduced to the kernel a few years back, one of the people said something along the lines of "a lot of the work was to make sure t

Reading that thread, Hellwig is not against Rust for Linux, but rather against using it in core systems. He's okay with it in e.g. drivers. The notion of "Linus accepted Rust in kernel, therefore it can be used everywhere" is
