The topic of the Rust experiment was just discussed at the annual Maintainers Summit. The consensus among the assembled developers is that Rust in the kernel is no longer experimental — it is now a core part of the kernel and is here to stay. So the “experimental” tag will be coming off. Congratulations are in order for all of the Rust for Linux team.

    Generally no. As soon as a class hierarchy becomes moderately complex, implementation inheritance makes code very hard to maintain, because you need to read the whole stack of classes to see what a single change will actually do.

    Rust has another system, traits and trait implementations.
