Rust vs C: future of systems programming
 

Hi guys, I have a question regarding a paper that I’m undertaking in relation to low level development. Hypothetically speaking what if Linux was written in rust as opposed to C? What advantages would it have? Would it a difference performance/ security wise? I know that the question is redundant but if Rust was available back then would it have been a viable option to develop Linux? As I know that C has always been the choice for low level development due to it ‘doing everything well’, but rust also has many benefits which have been highlighted by developers. Thank you for assistance.

Duplicate. Your other thread is in the Programming forum and seems more suitable for that forum. I've recommended that this one be closed in instead you use the other one https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ng-4175649637/
