There are several languages I've worked with that have claimed to be C replacements in the 30 years of the kernel using C. None of them got adopted, even with a group of people pushing for people to replace C with their language of choice. What makes you think that, assuming the kernel does adopt Rust, the next language to come along will be adopted, when C++, D, and others were not?
