Purely idle musings. Systems I wish people would rewrite in #rust:
- ntpd
- gpsd
- postgres
tell me why I'm wrong or what I'm missing.
(rationale:
ntpd is critical software with a history of security vulnerabilities and a requirement for tight timing. extensibility would be a very nice thing.
gpsd for basically the same reasons + ESR.
postgres because I like it.)
