Now that doesn't mean Linux stable kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman thinks Rust is magic.
  • Rust will save Linux from C’s inherent security weaknesses.
  • Linux, faced with a flood of AI-discovered security problems, could use the help.
  • Going forward, more and more Linux code will be written in Rust.

    • He described new C “guards” and scoped locks inspired by Rust

    In other words, the improved safety will sometimes come from Rust code, and sometimes from C code. The important point being that safer practices are becoming more common now that Rust has called attention to them.

      improved safety will ALWAYS come from rust code and SOMETIMES come from C code with AI help or these new magical unicorn C coders that have suddenly learned how to manage memory (etc etc) now that rust has appeared

      yeah right
