    Linux 6.14 Looks To Land Rust PCI / Platform Device Driver Support

    Phoronix: Linux 6.14 Looks To Land Rust PCI / Platform Device Driver Support

    The patch series in the works for a while to provide the necessary kernel abstractions for the Rust programming language to actually implement real device drivers looks like it will finally premiere in the Linux 6.14 kernel cycle...

      Where are all the hateful troll comments? There's good progress being made here, with new technologies, why isn't anybody triggered yet? The Phoronix community let me down today.

        Perhaps they are all enjoying their Festivus celebration, and have not yet gotten to the airing of grievances section of the program?

        In the end, those who would oppose this progress are also opposing getting Apple and Nvidia GPU support into the kernel. I am sure some people want Linux to fail (and for everyone to move to GNU Hurd?), and they will soon return to troll the boards.

          Apple yes, Nvidia no. Rust still sucks and is an eye sore, should have never been accepted just like C++. Let alone the fact I won't build it (even if I wanted to, since I'm not using that LLVM crap).

            I think its because they have been working on adding Rust bindings (just like these) to the kernel for well over a year now. This article provides no new news. No progress has been made. So ultimately no new triggers for those who are sceptical of the whole idea of introducing an immature language to the Linux kernel.

              No single usable driver yet, right? Amazing success..

                That must be it! But don't worry. They will return in full strength when the reflux sets in.

                  Unix was rewritten in C just one year after C was created years before first C standard was established. Rust is way more mature than C was back then. It's good thing that Unix developers didn't listen to "skeptical" people back then and continued their work.

                    Then rewrite the kernel to RUST if it's that "mature"...​ ? )
