   "An API written in Rust will be almost impossible to misuse" is an idiotic statement but "Rust eliminates multiple entire classes of memory bugs from the programmer" is objectively true.
   
   I spent some time last night exploring entire kernels written in Rust, I want to try a couple and experiment them, I find them interesting. While I have misgivings about mixing Rust and C in Linux, pure Rust kernels are super interesting.

     @jeff My current opinion is that Rust bindings should not be burdensome if your C project is well designed and well documented.

     @sun@shitposter.world rust will never mesh well in linux the rust language is too invasive and the devs it attracts too immature and dogmatic.

     What's the old saying about idiot-proofing again?

     @sun Some concepts extend to threading too, which is really interesting and helps eliminate a small class (though not all of) threading problems. This is something I don't think gets enough visibility for people learning the language at the start, but then again it is kinda hard to get past the basics, and threading is a more advanced topic.

     @sun if you start having thoughts of changing your name to lillith, please step away from the Rust.
