Before you know it, you are already in your fifties..

 Hi folks,

Less than one month before the summer 🙂, but FreeBSD 14 is more and more around the corner.

One part of this upgrade is its impressive boot time decrease. It comes a long way ... 👍

On my part, I published my first rust crate recently, isoalloc-rs using the related popular security oriented memory allocator. There is already existing excellent crates for the major allocators, jemalloc, mimalloc and the one from SchrodingerZhu ; snmalloc (one of the best in my view). Those are my suggestions if your priority is pure performance, isoalloc has a ton of refined options in return.

Still on my Zig's journey, I m now above 50 commits without really realising it. I like and know the language more but can see more clearly (ie beyond the obvious borrow checker) that, while it overlap a lot with rust, it can't replace it; they can truly co-exist. In the meantime my redox contributions had also grown a little mostly implementing missing syscalls/libc functions.
