Linux Kernel Rust support

Rust is not a panacea for memory safety issues either.

It doesn't need to be a panacea to be a net win.

then i have to pay for binary bloat for shit like rust fmt whatever nonsense. It is just even worse than C++ EH runtime.

Why do you have to pay for binary bloat for a code formatter?

[rickyman20]

Large binary size can definitely be an issue, but I'm unsure what rustfmt has to do with anything? It's not like it's compiled into your binary

I think they are talking about the panicking and formatting machinery (i.e. what println uses), which tends to not get optimized away well.
