udevd might actually be a good use for Fil-C. Good point. My fear is that the performance difference might add up once use it on more and more part. I imagine it uses a lot more memory. Plus once Fil-C gets adopted in the mainstream it might lower the need for devs to actually fix the code and they might start just relying on Fil-C. To be fair, systemd itself is corporate shite to begin with and I wouldn't mind seeing it being replaced with something written in a language with memory safety. | ||
