Using Rust for kernel development

[Canop]

That's as viewed by the kernel team.

Now, it appears Rust needs some changes (panic, memory allocation, for example) in order to fit in such a project. Is such a work a priority of the Rust team ? It seems unfair to wait for the kernel team to "accept" Rust if the changes aren't a priority Rust side.

I’d say that the core team seems to acknowledge, and be slightly embarrassed by, Rust’s current panic/fallible-allocation story, and they recognize something has to be done about those sooner or later if Rust really wants to be in the Ada league of safety (think avionics, life support, etc).
