But this discussion is mostly about the kernel, isn't it? I'm not sure why throwing out rust weaknesses in general is appropriate when we're talking about a specific use case such as kernel drivers and other modules which do tend to be quite a bit more shallow than most large c/c++ projects I've been on.
That's a fair point. I do think it's appropriate to point out that build times are a problem for a lot of projects and may affect the kernel so careful attention needs to be paid to that issue.
