> People could have spawned another kernel branch focused around Rust

Linus already decided his one will be a mixed-languages fork. You are perfectly free to fork your own C-only kernel and maintain it.



The hobby kernel I work on is only 68KiB in size, and won't work with most von Neumann machines. Probably a waste of time, but a fun odd architecture given the relative simplicity. =3
