I knew it would be this. There was no other way, as it would be too sudden. Still little bit clickbaity, but I let it pass, because this is not a YouTube video or blog post for clicks and advertisement money.

It's better than click baity it's technically correct (the best kind of correct).

The experiment has ended! Rust in the kernel isn't experimental anymore!

Concluded might have been a better term for them to use. It means effectively the same thing but implies the natural expected end rather than potentially some other reason for ending (such as Linus pitching a fit and yanking it early).

It's good to see it's doing well enough to be considered a success despite some of the interpersonal drama around it.

I long for the day I can cargo build and cargo run the linux kernel.

Downvoted for clickbait headline editing, which was actually:

The (successful) end of the kernel Rust experiment

Let's be a little less breathless and a little more considered. please.

OP used the original title. Author of article has since updated it. If you read the comments on the article itself you can see evidence of this.

Let’s be a little more attentive and not jump to conclusions. ;)

It wasn't intentional, the author pushed the headline out during a meeting.
