I have a number of negative stereotypes associated with Rust and Rust programmers that I am trying to set aside right now and just look at this from a technical perspective. Has the Rust-portability situation been addressed? Or will this change restrict the number of platforms the Linux kernel will be usable on? Assuming that is the case (I remember reading that GCC will acquire Rust support), what will the advantages be? I would guess stability might improve due to more static analysis, but what about performance? Build-time? And will this have any effect on Rust?
