Rust for Linux
summary
Project reports 2,500 patch series so far with about 300 unique submitters, roughly 20 maintainer entries (≈30 people when expanded) and seven active core members. Android support lands in mainline and a Rust-based Android component reaches Android 6.12, putting millions of devices imminently on kernels that include Rust. Debian unstable enables Rust builds; Android binder and DRM/Nova GPU work progress upstream. Toolchain work advances: rustfmt/clippy adaptations, syn vendoring for proc macros, CI building kernels per PR, and GCC/Rust frontend progress toward full compilation.
