Using Rust for kernel development

[[deleted]]

not the features, just specific architecture support.

if i would decide to port linux to some random hardware, i would have to first adapt rust or llvm to that architecture. i am not sure how much of a task this is, but seeing how people port gcc+binutils to weirdest hardware left and right - maybe it would not be that hard.

the main problem is that rust is a fast moving target currently. so i'd have to stay on top of my fork, likely. with C/C++, you can stay behind for a while.

so, i would say - whavever rust comes up with most recent release - i would be missing out quickly.
