KernelScript: A Programming Language For Kernel Customization & App Optimizations
Multikernel Technologies Inc has developed KernelScript, a domain-specific language aimed at simplifying Linux kernel customizations and app optimizations. Presented by founder Cong Wang at the Linux Foundation's Open-Source Summit, KernelScript is designed to make writing eBPF programs easier than traditional C code. Currently in beta, it seeks to unify various development aspects into a type-safe language, potentially offering a more user-friendly alternative to existing solutions.
