That's... an interesting point of view.
I personally find functional programming languages, including Rust, much clearer than C or Go, in particular because you can offload much information onto the compiler. The example of Serde feels a bit weird, because I don't think I've ever encountered issues with Serde code, while almost 100% of the times I've used Go in production, I've needed to debug through Go's Unmarshal and its... interesting implementation.
Also, last time I checked, the kernel didn't reject Rust. There was a conflict between two specific developers on the best place to store some headers, which is slightly different.
