      Conversely, we had to reimplement this SOSP paper for the OS qual: https://github.com/rlu-sync/rlu  I was so appalled by the quality of that C code, that I spent 50% of the time just making the API beautiful in Rust: https://github.com/willcrichton/rlu-rs …

      Why use wacky concepts like "parametric polymorphism" when you have macros?

      (Bjarne Stroustrup voice) templates are parametric polymorphism, and templates are also macros, so who cares?pic.twitter.com/A8FkcZKqED

          Also for the record, the real issue w/ RLU is that you want to have a Struct<T> that pretends it's a T (a smart pointer). In C you accomplish this with gross pointer arithmetic and object headers, while in Rust you can just use the Deref trait.
