  • Vale

    Compiler for the Vale programming language - http://vale.dev/ (by ValeLang)

  • Interesting. Very low level though and C(++) centric. She there any thoughts on combining the hardware and OS features with rust or https://vale.dev ?

  • llvm-project

    Fork of LLVM adding CHERI support (by CTSRD-CHERI)

  • CHERI is not specific to C/C++ but aims to provide primitives at the hardware level that can be used to make software safer (including programming languages) in terms of (spatial and temporal) memory safety and also to compartmentalize your software stack (e.g., separate third-party software libraries from the core of your application). It is true that the only currently stable CHERI-extended SDKs for programming languages are CHERI LLVM [1] (for CHERI-RISC-V) and LLVM for Morello [2] for CHERI C/C++ [3]. However, there have been more projects that extend other SDKs for CHERI: Rust [4] [5], JavaScriptCore and WebKit [6] [7], OpenJDK [8].

  • I've heard that "Rust's borrow checker is necessary to ensure memory safety without a GC" usually also implying it's the only way, but I've done the same without the borrow checker. Am I just clueless/confused?
