The EROFS read-only open-source file-system has seen initial patches posted today for beginning to re-implement the C code within the Rust programming language for better safety guarantees and the possibility of more performance optimizations. Yiyang Wu posted the patches today that begin adding Rust code to the EROFS file-system implementation. Also note that, this patchset only uses already-present self-included EROFS API and it uses as few C bindings generated from bindgen as possible, only inode, dentry, file and dir_context related are used, to be precise."
