seccomp in linux is _roughly_ similar to pledge. they aim to accomplish the same goals but pledge is more straightforward. think of it like sudo vs doas.

Seccomp profiles are typically applied externally to a process in my experience though. I think this is more analogous to using capset() to remove capabilities in highly permissioned processes. For instance dnsmasq makes use of this ability to be minimally permissioned.
