Alice Ryhl discusses the experience and challenges of using Rust to build complex drivers in the Linux kernel.

🔔 FOLLOW RUSTLAB CHANNEL 🔔 ABSTRACT: The Linux kernel is a project with a lot of special requirements on your code, and until late last year, one of those requirements was that you had to use C. Today, this is no longer true, and there are now several Linux kernel driver projects using Rust. In this talk, you will hear about the experience of using Rust in the Linux kernel, and the journey of building a complex driver. This channel is dedicated to the videos of the RustLab conference. ⚙️ Follow us on TWITTER: / rustlab_conf ⚙️ Follow us on FACEBOOK: / rustlabconference RustLab is the first Italian international conference on the Rust programming language, organized by Develer. Develer is not just an Italian company projecting and releasing hardware and software solutions for the industrial environment, but is also an ensemble of people sharing their great passion for new technologies and how they can be applied to your everyday life. ⚙️ Follow DEVELER on INSTAGRAM: / wearedeveler ⚙️ Follow DEVELER on FACEBOOK: / we.are.develer ⚙️ Follow DEVELER on TWITTER: / develer ⚙️ Follow DEVELER on LINKEDIN: / 114426 ⚙️ Follow DEVELER on TELEGRAM: t.me/wearedeveler ⚙️ Follow DEVELER on TIK TOK: / wearedeveler

On “Linus Torvalds: "the Rust infrastructure itself has not been super stable"”

[video I haven't watched the video, but that comment is aligned with Alice Ryhl's account at last year's RustLab keynote. Around the 33:00 minute mark. More or less rust on linux requires a nightly version because it needs features that are not part of a stable release of Rust. fwir they pin the nightly version used, and move it every now and then.
