The “tooling” argument is kind of backwards when we’re in the kernel.
The package manager is not allowed to be used.
Even the standard library is not allowed to be used.
Writing code free of the standard library is kind of new in the Rust world and getting compiler support for it has been one of the major efforts to get Rust into the kernel.
Needless to say tools around no-stdlib isn’t as robust as in the user world.
