I'm off to another presentation in the main room about Rust communication by Jack Huey and Niko Matsakis.
And it's again about Rust for Linux. Looks like my t-shirt today is on point.

Matthias asks Alice the final question: "What can Rust developers learn from C developers?"
But Greg answers the opposite one: to him, Rust makes programming fun again. It provides the tools so that there is no need to worry about the meta things a C programmer needs to keep in their head. He thanks the Rust community for that.

Was it a social challenge or a technical challenge to introduce Rust in the Linux Kernel?
After both laughed, Alice says it's both, but the biggest challenge is social.
The project has history, and the kernel works on trust of individuals, Greg says. The trust is not necessarily that you'll get it right the first time, but that you'll be here to fix it when it goes wrong.

I'm at the recording for the Rust In Production podcast on "Oxidizing the Linux Kernel" with Greg @gregkh KH, Alice Rhyl and Matthias @mre Endler.

This previous weekend I wrote and Submitted Rust bindings for virtio drivers in the Linux kernel mailing list including a WIP sample driver for virtio-rtc device https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260505-r[email protected]/

🎉 Breaking news: After much ado, the "experiment" with Rust in the kernel has "graduated" to a permanent status! 🏆 Because, hey, why not add a little more confusion to the already incomprehensible world of kernel development? 😂 Congratulations to the #RustforLinux team for turning a "trial" into a triumph that nobody knew they were waiting for. 🔧🦀

Hey, im aktuellen Newsletter #OpenSourceSpotlight berichten wir über die Konflikte rund um #Rust im #Linux #Kernel. Im Spotlight steht #Shortwave 5.0, einen Radioplayer für den #LinuxDesktop, wofür wir mit dessen Entwickler @haeckerfelix gesprochen haben. Fun fact: Shortwave ist in Rust programmiert.
Wenn ihr den Newsletter abonniert, bekommt ihr die aktuelle Ausgabe zu #RustForLinux und Shortwave noch nachgeschickt. :)

Are you preparing for the weekend? Do you wish to learn more about Rust for Linux, and even look at some driver code? You're in luck, my FOSDEM presentation video is now available:
Rust for Linux: an overview https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5875-rust-for-linux-an-overview/ -
Something is wrong when the #rustforlinux mailing list gets more NAKs than the #mesa repo.
(Because the nvidia Rust compiler is called... I'll show myself out)

Come see my talk in 100 mins in the FOSDEM Kernel devroom (UD2.208):
Rust for Linux: an overview
You can also tune online to watch the talk : https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-5875-rust-for-linux-an-overview/

Oh look, there's a stabilization PR for `Arbitrary Self Types V2` over at #RustLang :awesome: 🎉
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/135881
It allows you to do stuff like this (taken from the PR):
struct MySmartPtr<T>(T);
impl<T> core::ops::Receiver for MySmartPtr<T> {
type Target = T;
}struct Content;
impl Content {
fn method(self: MySmartPtr<Self>) { // note self type
}
}The #RustForLinux project heavily relies on this feature.

I am researching "things" for my upcoming Rust For Linux talk, and I stumbled back on these gems from Alex Gaynor and Federico @federicomena

I'm looking for guest lecturers for a university-level #Rust class in #Paris. Favorite topics would be security-related, and/or Rust in the real world (a return of experience kind of thing), but #RustForLinux would be awesome too.

Wedson Almeida Filho steps down as one of the maintainers of
the #RustForLinux project:'"[…] After almost 4 years, I find myself lacking the energy and enthusiasm I once had to respond to some of the nontechnical nonsense, so it's best to leave it up to those who still have it in them.
To the Rust for Linux team: thank you, you are great. It was a pleasure working with you all; […]"'
