    [$] Compiling the kernel with gccrs

    Date:
    Tue, 22 Sep 2026 15:27:35 +0000

    Description:
    Pierre-Emmanuel Patry and Arthur Cohen gave a talk at RustConf2026 on the status of the Rust frontend for GCC (gccrs), with a particular eye toward the goal of compiling the Linux kernel . Patry gave a follow-up talk for a more kernel-focused audience at Kangrejos the next week, which Cohen could not attend. The gccrs project is
    making good progress overall, but it will still be some time until the compiler
    is usable.
