The makers of systems programming language Rust are looking at how to adapt the language for use in the Linux kernel. Josh Triplett, a former Intel engineer and a lead of the Rust language team, says ...

A slow change is coming to the Linux kernel, and it’s as fundamental as it gets for programmers: the very language they write in. Such an impactful move has to be handled carefully, but it’s cause for ...

The recently announced proposal to make the Rust programming language one of two main languages for the Linux kernel is getting a major boost thanks to Google and the Internet Security Research Group ...

I've found myself having do some socket programming in the linux kernel. (yes, yes, I know: have I thought about user space? Yes, that's where I've prototyped my code. This is a research project that ...

There's more to safer systems languages than Rust If you're looking for a Unix-like, POSIX-compatible, real-time kernel, there's no shortage of projects trying to build one. Ironclad stands out for ...

Rust is the new hotness in programming languages because of how solid its memory protections are. Race conditions and memory ...

There is gathering momentum around the idea of adding Rust to the Linux kernel. Why exactly is that a big deal, and what does this mean for the rest of us? The Linux kernel has been just C and ...

Much of modern operating system functionality happens in and around the kernel. That’s a problem when you’re implementing monitoring and observability tools or adding low-level security tools because ...

This engineering specialization provides students with the fundamentals of embedded operating systems including a working understanding of how to configure and deploy a Linux based Embedded System.

Researchers say a 18-year-old programming error by Microsoft is creating a kernel bug that can be abused by an attacker. Researchers claim a programming error in the ...
