Linux could go Rusty in the next release
 

We will C what happens next

Linux has been written in the C programming language for more than 30 years but the last few years have seen a growing momentum to make the Rust programming language Linux's second Linux language.

Speaking to the gathered throngs at the Open Source Summit in Austin, Texas, Linux creator Linus Torvalds said he could see Rust making it into the Linux kernel as soon as the next major release.

"I'd like to see the Rust infrastructure merging to be started in the next release, but we'll see. I won't force it, and it's not like it's going to be doing anything really meaningful at that point -- it would basically be the starting point. So, no promises."

Rust is better at writing more secure software by ensuring thread safety and preventing memory-related errors, such as buffer overflows that can lead to security vulnerabilities.

Torvalds likes the fact that Rust is more memory-safe.
