  • tock

    A secure embedded operating system for microcontrollers

    • Rust kernels are totally reasonable and the code can be reasonable also, I was recently reading the source of the Tock operating system, https://github.com/tock/tock and it makes me want to grab some risc hardware and try my hand.

  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

    • The majority of crates on crates.io are 100% safe, see here as an example https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/g0wu9b/percentage_of_unsafe_code_per_crate_for/. According to this thread, 94.6% of code on crates.io was found to be safe (and not that many times crates are just wrappers around unsafe C code so they have to be unsafe at times so pure Rust projects that number is probably even higher).

  • Graal

    GraalVM compiles Java applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀

    • Not always, for instance GraalVM or PyPy. Nowadays C is quite avoidable.

  • pypy

    Discontinued The unofficial GitHub mirror of PyPy (mirrored via https://github.com/mozillazg/job-mirror-hg-repos)

    • Not always, for instance GraalVM or PyPy. Nowadays C is quite avoidable.

  • SortingNetworks

    • On a side-note: I did an experiment to see whether C# could match C++ for vector-intensive computing: https://github.com/zvrba/SortingNetworks
