rust in the kernel stopped being theoretical. this matters less for ideology than for practical memory safety in a codebase where bugs translate to privilege escalation. the tradeoff is real though—rust’s compile times and ergonomic friction in systems code are non-trivial, and you’re still dealing with C interop for the foreseeable future. worth watching how this scales beyond the subsystems currently using it. prior art from seL4 and other formally verified microkernels shows safety can be achieved, but rust’s approach is different: catching classes of bugs at compile time rather than proving absence. the incremental adoption strategy is pragmatic.
