Hahaha I did notice there's a lot of magical thinking amongst the rust people.

Prediction: in time the same will happen to "rust in the kernel" as happened to "c++ in the kernel": Linus will forbid it not because of some intrinsic problem with the language, but because the culture of the community prevented them from understanding the kernel rules.

The kernel is not a magical beast. Other kernels have already been written in Rust and work fine. The ideas of Rust are not "magical thinking", they're based on fundamental mathematical principals that are irrelevant to language or tool.

I didn't say that the ideas of rust are magical thinking. I said that the community falls into magical thinking a lot.
