• Netstack3's net-types crate
• Zerocopy's Ptr smart pointer abstraction
  • We're considering publishing this abstraction for others to use. If this sounds interesting to you, please let us know!
• interprocess-traits crate
• Functional Core, Imperative Shell
  • Netstack3 uses an architecture inspired by this concept, although since it's in Rust, the core is able to perform mutation. This allows Netstack3's "core" (~90% of the codebase) to be completely platform-agnostic. Only 10% of Netstack3 knows it's running on Fuchsia.

thanks for the slideshow, and this
my grok went up a few notches

Great talk @joshlf. Inspiring!

Wonderful talk!
