A technical reflection on why the Linux kernel should continue using C instead of Rust, especially for legacy hardware support and long-term maintainability.

    I almost agree, but I think that supporting old hardware practically forever would be a nice thing to have.

    Luckily, it doesn’t evolve anymore and given time Rust will likely have that support if it would be necessary for its role in the kernel.
