Rust for Linux gained supporters and momentum, and in October 2022, Torvalds approved a pull request adding support for Rust code in the kernel.

Semantic analysis of the code. This is where the borrow checker comes in. Optimization of the code. Finally, code generation, where the compiler creates the executable binary of our code.

The US authority DARPA wants to eliminate security vulnerabilities caused by memory errors. AI is to transfer legacy code in C and C++ into high-quality Rust.

Linus Torvalds would accept code for programming the kernel in Rust, even if the maintainer of the relevant part of Linux blocked its inclusion. However, the founder and lead developer of the ...

On the developer side, the best practice is to use as many optimization tools as your compiler gives you. For example, we always use the —release flag when compiling our Rust code.
