I fervently disagree with replacing C operating system code with Rust.
@eliasr the Rust compiler adds bloat to the process of bootstrapping the OS, making the Linux ecosystem less convenient for new architectures or source based distributions like Gentoo and Linux from Scratch
@burnoutqueen I did see that problem when I was playing with Linux From Scratch a few years ago. For the system I was building then there was one single package that involved rust, and it was that package that caused problems for me because I needed to build without internet access (because the system I was building at that point did not have networking yet), and the rustc compiler insisted that it needed to download various binaries. I wanted to build from source, not download binaries. #rust
