I was just a undergrad student and I worked wiht a grad student to re-write (maybe translate would be a better word) a block device driver into Rust 4 years ago, and gave a talk at Linux con.

So we've been working on it for a while now, including writing drivers.

(Turns out Rust wasn't quite ready back then, but the hard part is definitely the safe abstraction layer.)
