Maybe they are asking the wrong questions?

Does Rust need to change to make it easier to call C?

I've done a bit of Rust, and (as a hobbyist,) it's still not clear (to me) how to interoperate with C. (I'm sure someone reading this has done it.) In contrast, in C++ and Objective C, all you need to do is include the right header and call the function. Swift lets you include Objective C files, and you can call C from them.

Maybe Rust as a language needs to bend a little in this case, instead of expecting the kernel developers to bend to the language?
