The Rust language ecosystem is expanding rapidly with its unique features of memory and concurrency safety at compile time, powerful build system, and a growing number of packages (crates). While the author primarily uses C++ for low-level system and kernel programming, Rust’s system programming capabilities compete with C/C++. The process of converting C types to Rust can be verbose but can be eased with wrappers and macros. The article provides a step-by-step guide on creating a WDM driver in Rust, showcasing the syntax, methods, and considerations involved. Developing kernel drivers in Rust is feasible, albeit with room for improvement in terms of support and optimization.
