iTWire Friday, 16 April 2021 11:54 Rust support in Linux may be possible by 5.14 release: Torvalds Featured Linus Torvalds: "C++ solves _none_ of the C issues, and only makes things worse. It really is a crap language." Courtesy YouTube The first patches for Rust support in the Linux kernel have been posted and the man behind the kernel says the fact that these are being discussed is much more important than a long post by Google about the language. Linus Torvalds told iTWire in response to queries that Rust support was "not there yet", adding that things were "getting to the point where maybe it might be mergeable for 5.14 or something like that".
