Are you going to write a "quick program" in C, though? That is what we are comparing to, when we consider kernel development.
I wouldn't argue that Rust is a good replacement for Makefiles, shell build scripts, Python scripts...
An amazing thing about Rust, though, is that you actually can write many "quick programs" -- application level programs -- and it's a reasonably good experience.

of course not, for kernel development. and in those cases, you WILL statically analyze.
But then what is the disagreement here, with regard to Rust and kernel development?
