Rust in the Linux Kernel: ‘Good Enough’Category: Microsoft
The effort to https://thenewstack.io/this-week-in-programming-rust-likely-headed-for-linux-kernels-development-branch/ marches on this week, with an https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/12/6/461 from https://github.com/Rust-for-Linux project maintainer https://ojeda.dev/ put out this week serving as cause for renewed excitement. In addition, the project has migrated to the 2021 edition of Rust, and plans to migrate to new stable compilers each time one is released.
A lot of new Linux code will be in Rust.
A bitter-sweet moment for me – today I can read the Linux C code and understand it, and I can barely grasp Rust code.
The Python feature is powered using the https://github.com/github/stack-graphs/ framework also https://github.blog/2021-12-09-introducing-stack-graphs/ and, while only supporting Python currently, will add other https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/navigating-code-on-github#about-navigating-code-on-github in the coming months.
