Rust in the Linux Kernel: Why After 30 Years of C?
For over 30 years, C has been the undisputed language of the Linux Kernel. But with version 6.1, a historic shift occurred: Rust was officially introduced as a second language.
In this video, we break down exactly why this is happening, how the "unsafe" C world bridges with "safe" Rust code, and what this means for the future of operating systems. We also cover the practical steps you need to take to compile a Linux Kernel with Rust support enabled.
Whether you are a seasoned kernel developer or just curious about systems programming, this deep dive covers everything you need to know about the Rust experiment in Linux.
