The kernel, however, including modules, has no such restriction. That can make debugging modules tricky because you can easily bring the system to its knees.

Although Linux does not (yet) support this binary format, the good news is that you can learn how to write kernel modules by implementing COM support for the Linux kernel.

Programmers had already been experimenting with earlier versions of the language as an option for kernel module programming, with a proof of concept developed in 2013.

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.
