There hasn't been a convincing argument so far that Rust is a net negative for the Rust kernel from a security perspective. Sloppy programming practices and say sloppy review practices will exist in any language. What we're hoping for is fewer "oops, I used that thing after it no longer existed". "Complicates code unnecessarily" can be met with a counter that it's necessary for the memory safety of the future millions of devices out there. If Microsoft and the Linux Kernel release security updates periodically, and people's research says that around 70% of those updates are addressing memory safety issues, "unnecessarily" starts to sound more like a necessity. We have to get to a point where resistance for the sake of resistance becomes unproductive. |
