Congrats to the #Rustlang and #Rust on #Linux community: the #LinuxKernel now contains the first useful thing built using Rust[1]! 🥳 👏

It's a network driver for Asix PHYs[2]. It's provided as an alternative to an existing driver written in C. The features are equivalent. For details see https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/d6beb085e8ff3d9547df8a5a55f15ccc7552c5d0 and https://lwn.net/Articles/949270/

[1] reminder, until now the #Linux #kernel's Rust support was not used for anything practical: https://lwn.net/Articles/952029/
