I've been getting my feet wet with Rust for a few weeks now, assessing the real-time latency figures I could get from an existing (C++) application once fully rewritten in this language. It turned out that performance was on par with the original implementation with memory safety on top, among other upsides (like having quite some fun coding in Rust in the first place).
Having Rust as a Tier 1 language for Xenomai4/evl along with the existing C interface definitely makes sense to me. The goal would be to have a 'revl' interface providing the EVL services the idiomatic Rust way, available as a crate on top of the FFI bindings to libevl which have just landed [1]. Whether you are a Rustacean or not, if you are willing to discuss and help with this, let me know. [1] https://source.denx.de/Xenomai/xenomai4/evl-sys.git -- Philippe.
