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.

    Yeah but I think in some cases the thing that needs to improve was obviously wrong and should have been fixed all along, and sometimes it’s was fine but something even better came along.

    For example there was nothing obviously wrong with dumb phones when the iPhone obliterated them. They worked fine for what they were. Another example: nothing obviously wrong with x86 when Apple ditched them for ARM. Ok they were not as performant as they could have been but it’s not like Intel were completely ignoring performance.
