This title is moderately clickbait-y and comes with a subtle implication that Rust might be getting removed from the kernel. IMO it should be changed to "Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental"

I'm having deja Vu. Was there another quite similar headline here a few weeks or so ago?

It’s a bit clickbait-y, but the article is short, to the point, and frankly satisfying. If there is such a thing as good clickbait, then this might be it. Impressive work!

Perhaps, except it can have the reverse effect. I was surprised, disappointed, and then almost moved on without clicking the link or the discussion. I'm glad I clicked. But good titles don't mislead! (To be fair, this one didn't mislead, but it was confusing at best.)

Might as well just post it:

  The topic of the Rust experiment was just discussed at the annual Maintainers Summit. The consensus among the assembled developers is that Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental — it is now a core part of the kernel and is here to stay. So the "experimental" tag will be coming off. Congratulations are in order for all of the Rust-for-Linux team.

Not a system programmer -- at this point, does C hold any significant advantage over Rust? Is it inevitable that everything written in C is going to be gradually converted to safer languages?

It’s available on more obscure platforms than Rust, and more people are familiar with it.

I wouldn’t say it’s inevitable that everything will be rewritten in Rust, at the very least this will this decades. C has been with us for more than half a century and is the foundation of pretty much everything, it will take a long time to migrate all that.

More likely is that they will live next to each other for a very, very long time.

This seems big. Is this big?

Safety is good.

That is why most of the world has not been using c/c++ for decades.
