The Register’s summary: Torvalds weighs in on ‘nasty’ Rust vs C for Linux debate
Isn’t there Redox OS?
Edit: yes, it’s still alive and kicking.
I think Linus mentioned Redox directly during the interview
what did he say about it?
He just mentioned it as an example of a kernel written in Rust. The interviewer asked if Rust isn’t accepted into the Linux kernel, would someone go out and build their own in Rust, and Linus mentioned Redox saying that’s already happened.
