From Wikipedia
Rust for Linux is an ongoing project started in 2020 to add Rust as a programming language that can be used within the Linux kernel software, which has been written using C and assembly only. This project aims to leverage Rust's memory safety to reduce bugs when writing kernel drivers. Progress has been slower than hoped by both Rust advocates and Linus Torvalds, lead of the Linux kernel project. In December 2023, the first drivers written in Rust were accepted, and released in kernel version 6.8. In December 2025, it was announced that Rust in the Linux kernel is no longer experimental with Rust development becoming an official part of kernel development.
