Rust in the Linux Kernel - A Status Check
10-06, 14:00–14:50 (Europe/Berlin), C120 - Rainbow Warrior
Language: English

Rust has been the up and coming new programming language that will remove whole categories of bugs like memory leaks and race conditions from code forever. Since a few years, step for step more Rust code has been added to mainline. This talk gives a an overview of what kernel modules you can already write (not much) and how Rust code interacts with the existing Linux Kernel written in C.


This talk will mostly just summarise the blog entries, for the people who are also too lazy to read: https://blog.christina-quast.de/
