The kernel maintainers have actively expressed interest in having upstream support for writing kernel modules in Rust!

Which might be eligible for a bounty under this program, but I doubt the kernel itself will have parts of it written in a memory-safe language anytime soon.

Lots of drivers, network protocols, etc. in the kernel, and they're most of the attack surface -- not the scheduler :-)

We have to approach this as a question of how, not if. When we do that, we can change computer security.
