> I don't want rust in the kernel. As a small time developer making a hardware product, the investment to understand the kernel and how to build drivers is already huge.
There's a crucial part missing: the investment [...] to build (memory) unsafe drivers.
I find it very troubling when memory unsafe language programmers don't weigh memory safety at all in their views.
(note that this doesn't necessarily refer to Rust; there's people who swear that one can build drivers also in Golang, so assuming that is realistic, the same reasoning applies)
