🎉 Breaking news: After much ado, the "experiment" with Rust in the kernel has "graduated" to a permanent status! 🏆 Because, hey, why not add a little more confusion to the already incomprehensible world of kernel development? 😂 Congratulations to the #RustforLinux team for turning a "trial" into a triumph that nobody knew they were waiting for. 🔧🦀

Great post from Michał Wilczyński about their "journey into creating safe Rust abstractions for the kernel's PWM subsystem, demonstrated with a real world fan controller driver for the RISC-V TH1520 SoC"

Hey, im aktuellen Newsletter #OpenSourceSpotlight berichten wir über die Konflikte rund um #Rust im #Linux #Kernel. Im Spotlight steht #Shortwave 5.0, einen Radioplayer für den #LinuxDesktop, wofür wir mit dessen Entwickler @haeckerfelix gesprochen haben. Fun fact: Shortwave ist in Rust programmiert.

Something is wrong when the #rustforlinux mailing list gets more NAKs than the #mesa repo.

Oh look, there's a stabilization PR for `Arbitrary Self Types V2` over at #RustLang  🎉

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135881

It allows you to do stuff like this (taken from the PR):

struct MySmartPtr<T>(T);

impl<T> core::ops::Receiver for MySmartPtr<T> {
type Target = T;
}

struct Content;

impl Content {
fn method(self: MySmartPtr<Self>) { // note self type
}
}

The #RustForLinux project heavily relies on this feature.
