On a personal note, I absolutely love Rust! I think the language was made for this purpose.
Yes, it's very interesting. I hope to introduce Rust in QEMU too, and I'd love to discuss with you (also based on your QEMU background) what you think is the best way to hook Rust and C together. A while ago I looked at https://github.com/crossbeam-rs/crossbeam-epoch, and it seemed like it could be adapted to become an RCU implementation and/or a wrapper for QEMU's RCU. This would be very important since RCU is used for several central data structures in QEMU (e.g. the memory regions). Paolo
