Using Rust for kernel development
And, importantly, Rust has good tooling for finding out where bloat, if any, comes from, cargo-bloat
-
Compile time
You can run cargo bloat --time --release -j 1 (github) to see what dependency takes the most time and try to replace it. It would probably be some proc-macro monstrosity.

Profiling function size
I think you will be interested in cargo-bloat

Cross-platform Rust rewrite of the GNU coreutils
Not that it should represent the rubicon of when to/not to rewrite code, but when you do, you do trade one set of bugs for a new set of bugs: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/issues

The First Stable Release of a Rust-Rewrite Sudo Implementation
Would be interesting to see a a Debian derivative that combines this with the Rust Implementation Of GNU Coreutils.[1] Could be a big win for memory safety and performance.

Looking for a small boring rust project to help my learning.
uutils /coreutils is also a great project. It has many contributors, and it also is a great resource to learn.

I have years of experience in vulnerability analysis including several 0-day discovery, and this bug [buffer overflow] seems totally safe.
Already did it. Checkmate, as i believe your people say.

Rust is ugly, doesn’t even let you write simple data structures, unsafe rust is not even defined, makes the simplest things so hard to write and did I mention it’s ugly?
Ah yes, std, that famous crate that is unusable for systems programming. God forbid anyone do any "systems" programming that uses std.
