OpenCL 2.2 incorporates the OpenCL C++ kernel language for significantly enhanced parallel programming productivity.

Programming languages: Now Rust project looks for a way into the Linux kernel The Rust programming language gets a nod of approval from Linux creator Linus Torvalds.

Historically, key Linux drivers that make up the kernel have been written in C, which is not memory-safe whereas Rust is; as Microsoft has highlighted, 70% of all bugs it fixes are memory-related ...

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.
