More Rust Code Is Coming For Linux 6.14 Along With Hitting Another "Major Milestone"
You're viewing a single thread.
noob here, does this mean rust will come included on Linux, similar to python?
No. It's only about the kernel itself, not Linux Systems(aka Distributions).
Earlier the kernel did only consist of C code, but for some time now the option to develop parts of the kernel in Rust is being worked on. In the end it both compiles to native machine code. The running kernel does not require the Rust toolchain to be present.
The other commenter already answers your quest, but I will just point out that python doesn't come included "on Linux". It just happens to be a dependency of so much stuff that some other packages is going to pull it in. A minimal distro which doesn't include programs written in python will probably not have python installed at all.
That's kinda wild tbh, even Node applications don't need to pull in Node.
