内存安全内核开发的未来

发布于 4 月 1 日

About ALGOL-FOR-LINUX: Bringing ALGOL68's memory safety to Linux kernel. ALGOL was designed in the late 1950s with ahead-of-time memory safety. ALGOL68 is an ambitious redesign and one of the most influential languages. Linux will get memory safety right by 2026. Memory safety mechanisms date back to 1961 and are built upon.
Why ALGOL Is Superior for Kernel Development:
- Memory Safety Since 1958: ALGOL has had memory safety longer than Rust.
- Beautiful Syntax: Intuitive with keywords like 'begin' and 'end'.
- Time-Tested Performance: Efficient and translates well to modern hardware.
- Cognitive Simplicity: Simple memory model allows focus on coding.
- Modern development tools: ALGOL 68 mode in Emacs with various features.
- Pioneering Memory Safety: Rust implemented similar safety as ALGOL.
Technical Arguments: Opponents claim ALGOL68's complexity delayed implementation. Rust has a higher cognitive load and is not formally defined. ALGOL-FOR-LINUX can use modern features without C's encumbrance.
What Kernel Developers Are Saying: Linus and Hector Martin appreciate ALGOL for kernel development.
ALGOL-FOR-LINUX Roadmap:
- Phase 1: Convince Linux community (done).
- Phase 2: Resurrect compilers and integrate (current).
- Phase 3: Write device drivers.
- Phase 4: Complete transition and work on userspace.
Thank you to MATACORP: Received generous grants in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
Join the Revolution: Embrace the future with ALGOL enthusiasts. No prior experience needed. 68 developers on board.
