It’s hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I’m sure there’s more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.
Linux Developers: “Here’s the thing, you’re not going to force all of us to learn Rust.”
This meme couldn’t be any more fucking accurate.
Lol. If Rust fans want a Rust kernel, no one is stopping them from building one.
