Re: Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers written in Rust
1) It would require shipping a Rust toolchain with RosBE
2) It would require us to maintain a separate set of API headers
So, unlikely. Although if it becomes more widespread, maybe some day it will make sense.

Or, unless someone here is willing to convert them to C and/or ASM, though C is to goto language for us.
Re: Windows Kernel-Mode Drivers written in Rust
Those are all example drivers (to demonstrate it's possible to write WDM drivers in Rust), so they have no value if you convert them.

Kernel written in Rust may exploit the WinAPI fact HANDLEs do not need to correspond to actual memory addresses.
