I argue that every (C) Kernel programmer should (not forced!) familiarize with Rust. Many (but not all) are stubborn and won't do that. The argumentation and questions brought up in this discussion (in the article) are very interesting and to -my surprise- humane. It's an interesting read to see how Kernel developers argue and think.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You sound like some mad scientist experimenting with kernel devs.
I presume you will find it amusing that I'm from Germany.

It's an important goal to adjust to how kernel devs discuss kernel issues.
Please don't trivialize the efforts of a smart person in a very underestimated discipline.
