There’s a nice pure-rust ssh client/server already.

Systemd should just be scrapped. This week’s wtf “systemd-tmpfile —-purge” intentionally changed its behavior to “rm -rf /home”. Confirmed not-a-bug. There are dozens of other comparable screwups in that stack, even ignoring the long list of CVEs (including dns and ntp, I think). Rust can’t fix that.

I haven’t heard of any issues with jemalloc, though that seems reasonable (assuming calling rust from C doesn’t break compiler inlining, etc).

Initially closed not a bug, but then Poettering overruled that decision and implemented a fix which is already released.

Prod ready, audited, non-buggy in actual use? And if so, do you have a link so I can start test-deploying it?
