Re: Another language?
Your cute "small" language C has created an enormous amount of exploitable bugs. The Linux guys seem to attempt a gradual conversion to Rust.
It definitely makes sense given the history of bugs in the Linux (and many other C-programmed) kernels.
Will it work out ? We will see.
There are some highly interesting kernels such as seL4 around and they also use Rust for their higher level/application parts.
