> Linus Torvalds said that he was seeing a divide between the filesystem and driver maintainers. Developers on the filesystem side tend to be more conservative, while the driver world "is the wild west". Driver authors tend not to understand concurrency, he said, and a lot of the code there is broken and unfixable. So it is unsurprising that there is interest in bringing in a language that better supports the writing of correct and safe code.<p>> Torvalds answered that, while he used to find problems in the LLVM Clang compiler, now he's more likely to find problems with GCC instead; he now builds with Clang.<p>> At the conclusion, Torvalds pointed out that there have been problems over the years with GCC changes breaking the kernel; the same will surely happen with Rust, but it will be the same thing in the end.<p>Based Linus Torvalds.
