A description of the issues involved in making native interfaces to the hypervisor in non-C languages and how to overcome them, with a special focus on the Rust programming language. * What are you hoping to get from your presentation? Create momentum towards Rust development in the Xen toolstack and increase awareness of its potential. * What do you expect the audience to gain from your presentation? A sneak peak into what a future Rust-based interface could look like and a roadmap about how to get there. Also a plan to streamline the process for other languages without resorting to writing wrappers around existing libraries. * How will your presentation help better the ecosystem? Rust is well known for its memory-safety properties, and its popularity is skyrocketing. Many people would like to see a migration of existing interfacing code into this language, but are unaware how such a thing could come to happen.
