But yours is human IQ, theirs is Artificial IQ. It's like human to dog years ;-)

Don't rust shared libraries have the problem of no stable rust ABI? So you either use the C ABI or you use some crate to create a stable rust ABI, because otherwise a shared lib co…

Sounds interesting but at the same time a bit complex. I assume you wouldn't ship the whole plugin runtime for each plugin that wants to host another plugin?!

You're right. Hot reloading isn't done by default. I manually compile a plugin and in my system I can "refresh" a plugin and even say "activate version 1.1 of the plugin" or "activ…

Very cool! But I prefer the wasmtime webassembly component model approach these days. Built a plugin system with that, which has one major upside in my book: No stringly function i…

For binaries, I agree. For libs, I prefer semver

There is cargo install, yes :) https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-install.html

Thanks for correcting my error. I've never checked core before, so I did when checking up for this discussion. I somehow missed Result. Silly me didn't search on that page, but ofc…

Thanks for the thorough explanation!

Mhm, thanks. It never occurred to me (being in non-embedded land) that returning an enum as the error or a &'static str instead of a heap structure like String, could also fail. Se…

Oh, wow, I was under the impression that the error message would be stack only, no heap involved, but as Result is part of the std library and not of core, this totally makes sense…

Can you elaborate as to why "his isn't how you'd do things in userspace, but, this isn't userspace so fine" holds? Naive me - not a kernel dev at all - would argue that returning R…

Just in case you don't know about it: https://redox-os.org/ could be interesting to you :)

Yes, it was/is for only the duration of the summer (school) break. Has some very weird constraints regarding borders when combining with the eurorail/interrail though.

Ah, the good ol' KISS - complexity kills.
