Linux 6.13 Hits A "Tipping Point" With More Rust Drivers Expected Soon


In addition to the USB updates and big staging flush merged yesterday for the Linux 6.13 kernel merge window, the 'char/misc' pull was also honored for that catch-all of various kernel changes

With the char/misc pull there are some notable additions for those wanting to write kernel drivers within the Rust programming language. This is the end result of a lot of work from a lot of people, congrats to all of them for getting this far, you've proved many of us wrong in the best way possible, working code :)" The veteran kernel developer believes we're at a tipping point of seeing more upstream Rust drivers ahead. Linux 6.13 is shaping up to be a very big kernel step forward and will be out as stable around the end of January.
