@marver @pmarreck @grsecurity Can't write kernels in Golang or node, but I'm considering Rust for my next bare metal kernel-like project.

@marcan42 @pmarreck @grsecurity I know, it was a joke. :) just everyone blindly repeats everything will be better once we get rid of C..

@marcan42 @pmarreck @grsecurity to see how great security is in a memory safe, strongly typed and even fully verifiable lang, look at Java.

@marver @pmarreck @grsecurity IIRC Java isn't even concurrency-safe, while Rust is. :)

@marcan42 @marver @pmarreck @grsecurity will rust automatically make sure you get locking in a kernel right?

@marver @pmarreck Rust will at least make sure you can't segfault due to bad locking :-)

@marcan42 @marver @pmarreck Only if you stick to safe Rust. Kernels will need some unsafe Rust and to implement that correctly.

@havvy @marcan42 @pmarreck exactly this!
