Rust has been the up and coming new programming language that will remove whole categories of bugs like memory leaks and race conditions from code forever. Since a few years, step for step more Rust code has been added to mainline. This talk gives a an overview of what kernel modules you can already write (not much) and how Rust code interacts with the existing Linux Kernel written in C.
This talk will mostly just summarise the blog entries, for the people who are also too lazy to read:

You can't spell Rust without writing drama.
10% technical problems and 90% social problems?
Please spare us the blatant propaganda
It’s 2 years and several millions of dollars now since Rust was prematurely forced into the kernel- and there is still no stable toolchain that can be used to compile Rust code with the Linux kernel
You need to enable experimental extensions in rust just to compile some parts
This is not some “non technical social problem”
From a purely technical standpoint, the Rust in Linux experiment is a monumental failure so far
Ich habe erst bei ca. @26:00 gesehn, dass das kleine Schiff unten pro Seite immer näher an die Insel kommt. 😀
