Hellwig has some excellent points and people are up in arms solely because he’s not giving the green light for the shiny new toy.
Keep the wrappers in your code instead of making life painful for others
This is a perfectly valid approach, anyone claiming he’s resistant for no reason has never tried maintaining a multi language code base.
If you want to use something that’s not C, be that assembly or Rust, you write to C interfaces and deal with the impedance mismatch yourself as far as I’m concerned.
Again an entirely reasonable approach. There is precedence for this approach in the kernel/dma and I see no reason to change this now, unless a full kernel/dma rewrite to Rust were to occur.
