Re: The next generation will attempt to port the kernel to Javascript...
Ha! They might at that...
Torvalds seemed quite open to the idea of using Rust, which I think is most encouraging. I've been hoping for the thinking on such a move (but on a bigger scale) would start. Using Rust ought to deliver development timesavings, which would make better use of a maintainer's donated time. And it ought to eliminate a bunch of bug classes, so that should be another long term time saver.
