rust people: let's make the kernel more memory-safe with rust!
linux people: we have memory safety at home
memory safety at home: eBPF

@whitequark this but unironically

@chozu can I have memory safety without, uh... loop safety?

@whitequark When they say those things is it the actual plan that they're going to redo all or most of the current AOT native compiled C stuff so that it targets eBPF instead? Or is it just misdirection to avoid the Rust stuff?

@jmc i don't think they actually say that. i am making a silly joke

probably the funniest bit here is that rust is a reasonably popular eBPF frontend
