Fetch error

Hmmm there seems to be a problem fetching this series right now. Last successful fetch was on April 17, 2025 04:25 (6d ago)

What now? This series will be checked again in the next day. If you believe it should be working, please verify the publisher's feed link below is valid and includes actual episode links. You can contact support to request the feed be immediately fetched.

This episode shines some light on a new (?) technology entering the Linux kernel. Traditionally the Linux has been programmed using C, a programming language almost as old as our two hosts, and assembler for the machine-dependent parts which cannot be done in C. A few years back a couple of kernel devs started to explore the possibility of using a modern, much safer system programming language by the name of Rust (as featured quite a few times on this podcast in the past - check out the back catalog for the details). Even if you're not a kernel dev check out the episode if you're interested in kernel programming or the use of Rust in system programming in general.
