>Complain when Linux maintainers refuse your code changes
It's been more than 15 years and the language still doesn't have a stable standard library with specs set in stone, no ABI for other languages, requires experimental builds to be functional in a kernel and Rust Linux devs will still complain that someone doesn't take them seriously.
Of course not. C++ was more standardized and functional when it was introduced to Linux for a short period of time. Rust will eventually be the same. It's too hard for hardware-level programming, because the language purposefully makes it harder in the name of memory safety which is only half-true.
