Linus Torvalds warming up to Rust

Hi Folks, there you have it, Linus Torvalds is warming up to the idea of integrating Rust into the kernel. While he's still weighing Rust's long-term prospects, he's open to giving it a chance.

So far, Rust has been on the rise, yet there hasn't been a critical dependency on it within the kernel. Torvalds, known for his enthusiasm for innovation, is eager about the possibilities that come with trying something new.

Although Rust hasn't quite established itself as the groundbreaking technology of the future, Torvalds anticipates that we'll begin to see its integration in the coming year, especially with drivers and some major subsystems beginning to actively incorporate it.

What do you think?

I am actually interested to see if Ada could be useful for embedded gadgets. I am not a good coder so stronger typed languages make me look better and to me seems inherently more secure than C.

Well, the kernel guy that was driving this RUST in the kernel adoption just quit.
Me says... Hey Rust guys. Go write your _own_ kernel. Mkay?
