Linus Torvalds on where Rust will fit into Linux

Linux is the poster-child for the C language. But times change. The Rust language has been slowly gathering support for use as a system language in Linux. For example, at the 2020 Linux Plumbers Conference, developers gave serious thought to using the Rust language for new Linux inline code. So, where is it today? I asked Linux’s creator, Linus Torvalds, and the Linux stable kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman for their thoughts.

I’m looking forward to how rust will integrate into linux, it could definitely use it. Starting with drivers would be a huge boon to safety and stability.
