As something that manages your base operating system, we care about reliability, predictability, as well as performance and low-level access to native operating system facilities. The C programming language is great for the latter two, but fails at providing a truly memory-safe environment. Rust is fairly unique in providing a language that doesn't carry a runtime, so we can gradually "oxidize" and convert our C code without imposing additional overhead. It's also got a lot of modern design niceties, like not having a null pointer. Let's pull the trigger here and hard require Rust. It's the programming language I personally want to be primarily writing in for years to come. This is also in line with a recent trend of reducing our experimental/optional matrix.
