Hey @varbhat, I think perhaps the downvotes are due to some AFAIK incorrect assertions in your comment.

Rust allocations are I believe closer to C then C++ and Linus has already supported Rust: https://www.theregister.com/2020/07/13/rust_code_in_linux_ke...

So basically the question as it's asked doesn't make sense as I understand Rust and if someone took that to be intentional could be interpreted as language FUD (which could then deserve a down vote). An update to prevent the spread of misinformation about the language would be cool.

PS. I've only been using Rust on the daily for the last 8 months so I am by no means an expert. If there is a reason for your assertions that I'm missing I'd like to know. Thnx!
