Overall it seems like the Rust for Linux is making huge strides. Greg KH is super supportive of it[1] and the wider Linux community is pretty positive[2] (see all the quotes at the end of the slides).

I'm having fun writing a simple type checker, but I'm learning firsthand why syntax-directed checking doesn't work. It prevents inference.
My checker catches real bugs, but it can't handle cases like this:
[1, 2].map(fun(x) { x + 1; })
I think I need bidirectional checking.
