systemd has merged Rust support, allowing developers to write individual binaries in Rust while keeping the core libsystemd-shared.so in C. The project draws parallels to Rust's Linux kernel adoption and establishes principles like uniform API access across both languages.
Background
systemd is the init system and service manager used by most major Linux distributions. Rust has been increasingly adopted in systems programming, notably entering the Linux kernel in version 6.1.
