  • rjvm

    A tiny JVM written in Rust. Learning project

  • Your understanding of Rust is correct, but the code uses unsafe: https://github.com/andreabergia/rjvm/blob/93e7e48db085e780b0...

    As a result, when the VM gets dropped, the memory gets deallocated even if there are still objects that reference it.

  • computerraria

    A fully compliant RISC-V computer made inside the game Terraria

  • Take it full circle. Minecraft running Terraria emulating a 32-bit RISC-V CPU running Pong written in Rust - someone already did the latter part I believe, https://youtu.be/zXPiqk0-zDY?si=M0IHSzRLkaddwwKC

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Graal

    GraalVM compiles Java applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀

  • Why would they? The direction for safer JVM research is to implement JVMs in Java, which has the advantage of being both memory safe outside a few tiny core areas (same as rust) whilst having cleaner code than the Rust impl (none of these problems with lifetimes).
