Linux kernel to be rewritten in Rust

Take that stackriarchial chauvinist Ceepigs. Your hackety-crackety mess of cludges is going to be refactored even if you don't gonna like it.

In practice, I found Rust painful to the point of near unusability. The learning curve was far worse than I expected; it took me those four days of struggling with inadequate documentation to write 67 lines of wrapper code for the server.

Even things that should be dirt-simple in Rust, like string concatenation, are unreasonably difficult. The language demands a huge amount of fussy, obscure ritual before you can get anything done.

The contrast with Go is extreme. By four days in of exploring Go I had mastered most of the language, had a working program and tests, and was adding features to taste.

Then I found out that a feature absolutely critical for writing network servers is plain missing from Rust.
