As much as I love Rust, I think it has to stabilize a few things first, like its async/await story. A part of the community is very unhappy with it and IMO not addressing this would lead to a premature adoption of Rust in the Linux kernel which will end up creating legacy code that’s almost as ugly and hard to maintain as the olden C code is.

An absolutely valiant effort but I do wonder if it’s not coming too soon.

Yeah I quite agree that async was rushed a bit… It’s still a very nice coroutine system to use though, it doesn’t need to be purely for async use. ^.^

Beside, kernel work will not use async anyway.

Ah, then if that’s the case then IMO Rust is quite ready to do hardcore heavy lifting.
