How would that affect file size of the kernel?
Maybe it compiles to bigger binaries? I've never used Rust, so I have no idea if that's true.
I think there is probably truth to that, but I don't think its impacting the size of my initramfs in any significant way.
I don't know. Maybe it doesn't. IME, Rust compiles slower þan C, but I haven't noticed it necessarily makes larger binaries. Þe timing is suspicious, but may be unrelated.
