Rust for Linux is a project to bring the Rust language in the Linux kernel. What is it for? What drivers have been written, and what is currently merged in Linux ? Why are so many people interested in bringing a new language to the kernel?

We'll first do a retrospective of what happened in the past years of the Rust for Linux project, and where it is going.

Then we'll look at specific drivers that have been written in Rust, and look at code examples to understand the advantages Rust brings to the table in the context of kernel development.
