Why would you say Rust is bad for kernels and drivers? Asking this because I am curious, not as an argument.

I would also be interested if there's any specific reasoning there, especially because there's an effort to get rust supported as way of writing kernel modules in linux, a pretty dogmatically C (though not standard C) codebase. I am personally very exciting for rust's potential in low-level embedded applications.

My day job is doing embedded rust, with kernels and drivers. It works great.
