After years in the making, ALGOL-for-Linux debuts, offering a fresh perspective on memory safety for the Linux kernel.

Is this an April Fools "joke"? It's hard to tell.

One thing I can say is that we need more disinformation on the internet as much as we need a more polluting car on the roads.

ALGOL68 has much of the memorysafety that rust "invents" yet remains largely unmentioned in the discussion. There is a point to be had in terms of language design but rust has the community backing and momentum required, time will tell if ALGOL-FOR-LINUX will gather enough interest to pull this off.
