The recently announced proposal to make the Rust programming language one of two main languages for the Linux kernel is getting a major boost thanks to Google and the Internet Security Research Group ...

The Google-backed project to make Rust a second programming language in Linux kernel development after C just took it's next big step. Key to the project is Spain-based developer Miguel Ojeda, who's ...

When Rust was first proposed as a language for the Linux kernel, many of us were skeptical. C has been the backbone of the ...

A slow change is coming to the Linux kernel, and it’s as fundamental as it gets for programmers: the very language they write in. Such an impactful move has to be handled carefully, but it’s cause for ...

What just happened? Rust will soon be part of Linux, Torvalds has decided. The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and ...

When Rust first made its way into the Linux kernel in late 2022 (mainline inclusion began with version 6.1), it didn’t merely introduce a new programming language, it marked a profound shift in how we ...

The Linux kernel, written in C, is no longer experimental. The 'experimental' tag has been removed after a discussion at the Maintainers Summit. The Linux kernel is written in C, which means it is ...

Rust is becoming equal to assembler and C in programming the Linux kernel – at least officially, as there is still a lot of work to be done in practice. Rust is set to shed its "experimental phase" ...

There is gathering momentum around the idea of adding Rust to the Linux kernel. Why exactly is that a big deal, and what does this mean for the rest of us? The Linux kernel has been just C and ...
