I'm off to another presentation in the main room about Rust communication by Jack Huey and Niko Matsakis.

And it's again about Rust for Linux. Looks like my t-shirt today is on point.

Matthias asks Alice the final question: "What can Rust developers learn from C developers?"

But Greg answers the opposite one: to him, Rust makes programming fun again. It provides the tools so that there is no need to worry about the meta things a C programmer needs to keep in their head. He thanks the Rust community for that.

Was it a social challenge or a technical challenge to introduce Rust in the Linux Kernel?

After both laughed, Alice says it's both, but the biggest challenge is social.

The project has history, and the kernel works on trust of individuals, Greg says. The trust is not necessarily that you'll get it right the first time, but that you'll be here to fix it when it goes wrong.

🎉 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"
