Old commercial Unix'es will not be rewritten. Thee will be lucky
if they are even maintained.

But Linux is pretty serious about rust.

And the open source Unix world are "flirting a little bit"
with rust as well. FreeBSD has added support for
drivers in Rust and they have some userland stuff
in Rust in their ports collection.

But it would be very unhealthy to hold ones breath until Rust
takes over from C.
