Unix systems programming in Rust
summary
Claim: Rust makes Unix systems programming easier, safer, and more productive. Concrete proofs: a small container tool containy thing that uses unshare and mount to avoid needing root and it works; a rewritten Ruby stack-tracer that reads another process’s memory via process_vm_readv and eliminates C memory bugs; a maintained crate Nix that wraps libc errors into Result.
