Lots of core UNIX and Linux projects are. C++ is not liked by a lot of low level FOSS community. I think Rust is going to get further into these areas. I know C++ well but prefer C. I know plenty of others who feel the same.

I've read that they are writing parts of the kernel in Rust

[-] jabjoe@feddit.uk 4 points 5 months ago

Yes, I think Rust is a better C++ and will replace it in many places. Though all three will be around for ever to be honest.

[-] 0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, first Rust code was released in 6.6 I think and MS also started implementing Rust code in the Windows kernel.

[-] jabjoe@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

Rust is certainly interesting. I think it's the C++ we need.

Exactly my thoughts ๐Ÿ‘.
