fyi;

This is a link that talks about using rust in linux kernel

"Linux embracing Rust will boost robotics community"

"Linus Torvalds mentioned that the Rust programming
language would be used in the upcoming Linux 6.1 kernel"

<https://www.therobotreport.com/linux-embracing-rust-will-boost-robotics-community/>

What I do not understand is, why not Ada instead of rust?
I thought Ada was designed for embedded low level software.

May be it is just more verbose than rust, and do not use {}.
