People using C will not change to your language-du-jour, please stop.

Two years ago, your argument would have implied that Rust would never be allowed into the Linux kernel, and yet here we are.

[BearOso]

Rust in the kernel is a whole different beast than what most people think--no standard library, no cargo or external crates, some memory safety features removed. It's kind of just an alternative syntax.

[coliveira]

There are all kinds of weird stuff in the kernel, many of them will just die.

[mikebenfield]

What other programming languages are used in Linux kernel code?

[netule]

I wonder if Linus it taking the time to teach himself Rust.

[JohnFen]

Almost every dev I know who uses C (including myself) also uses other languages. Nobody should only have one tool in their toolbox.

[epistasis]

You seem to be replying to the wrong comment, I am not suggesting that people switch away from C.

[pjmlp]

They better improve their error free coding skills when liability laws come for them.

[jacquesm]

This I can't wait for but the bigger problem will be that the rest of the development process is at least as broken as the languages are.
