Pointing at C++ as bad doesn’t address my point.

Kernel code should be easily readable and understandable, shouldn’t it?

If Rust is complex and hard to understand won’t that lead to the kernel source code becoming a giant kablooie of complexity?

Surely the relatively simple nature of C is what makes it suitable for large scale kernel development.

Maybe the answer for more secure kernel code is C with better security analysis tools?
