The kernel will be made available first of all to users operating within the Windows Insider program. This is expected later this year, within the Windows 10 19H2 update.

The memory-safe programming language is already being used by Amazon, Facebook, Google, and others. Rust has also become part of the Linux kernel.

“This marks the first time that the Linux kernel will be included as a component in Windows,” said Jack Hammons, program manager for the Linux Systems Group at Microsoft, in a blog post.

Triplett is an advocate of using Rust for systems-level programming and as a replacement for C, which has been widely used at Microsoft for Windows and within the Linux kernel.

Believe it or not, Jack Hammons, Microsoft Program Manager, recently wrote, "Beginning with Windows Insiders builds this Summer, we will include an in-house custom-built Linux kernel to underpin ...
