Macros, the ugly side of C, Rust. Shame Zig didn't come before rust, imagining kernel data structures written in Zig, brings a smile.

Right on point that kernel style C is its own unique world, with a steep learning curve, so lets add Rust with its own steep learning curve. Rust readability isn't any better than kernel C, guess I'm missing the 10,000 hours of reading Rust.

Will use after free with Zig code also bring a smile?


Of course it would a big oops simile, but use after free isn't something that has happened to me in 40 years but I keep testing for it in other peoples code ;)
