This objective needs to be defined more properly. At the moment I'm not all that convinced that this is a real defect considering the guarantees that NTP makes about the _maximum_ error and the constraints it's operating under. It may be possible to re-evaluate some of the external constraints w.r.t. precise PPS sources and gain some performance there, but I'd rather want to see the PPS handling working in a tickless kernel and hence moving out of NTP. > 3. Move the codebase to Go or Rust? While I understand what kind of problem you're trying to solve, at the moment I see neither of those two languages survive for long if their current parent projects change course (again). Considering the space you're operating in and the objectives you have, another candidate would be Erlang/OTP. Ada has already been mentioned, although I'm not a big fan of its overly verbose syntax. Last but not least, moving the code base to some suitably constrained subset of C++ might also be an option.
