Getting to the level of a kernel dev, you will have a different look on "degoogling", and even "android".
OK, thanks. I am actually trying to get my feet wet in basic programming (starting a course on Rust), and most of the terms I'm seeing are alien to me. I've found myself spending a lot of time looking for definitions and such. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate any pointers for a smooth-ish start.
Keep with Rust, don't listen to the guy suggesting C. In fact Rust is starting to be used in the Linux kernel if for some reason you ever wanted to do that.
Big language which is not yet considered to be "powerful" enough by the guy who rewrites the whole kernel in C++. Slow compile time, high memory usage.
C is a small language and it is as powerful as assembly.
But learning any programming language can still get your mind up.
Yes, and the guy wants to learn to programming and, for whatever reason, went with Rust. C is a bad choice for a first language, they will likely not enjoy it and quit. With Rust they have a fighting chance.
Ok.
Untested.
