Support for developing in the Rust
language is headed toward the kernel, though just when it
will land in the mainline is yet to be determined. The Rust patches are
progressing, though, and beginning to attract attention from beyond the
kernel community. When two languages — and two different development
communities — come together, the result can be a sort of cultural clash.
Some early signs of that are appearing with regard to Rust in the kernel;
if the resulting impedance mismatches can be worked out, the result could
be a better development environment for everybody involved.
