While it’s sadly premature to say that the survey took place at the end of the COVID-19 pandemic (though we can all hope), it took place at a time when restrictions were loosening: we were starting to go out in public, have parties, and in some cases even attend in-person conferences. Salaries by Programming Language.

Last week we saw the benefits of rethinking memory and pointer models at the hardware level when it came to object storage and compression ( Zippads ). The protections are hardware implemented and cannot be forged in software. At hardware reset the boot code is granted maximally permissive architectural capabilities.

It is much more difficult to publish truly risky, revolutionary research due to implicit filters in what gets funded and what makes it past a program committee. Virtualization, for instance, was being addressed by IBM in the 1960s. At other times, the PC’s response is to push the paper to another conference.

bpftrace uses BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter), an in-kernel execution engine that processes a virtual instruction set. BPF has been extended (aka eBPF) in recent years for providing a safe way to extend kernel functionality, and has become a hot topic in systems engineering, with at least 24 talks on BPF at the last Linux Plumber's conference.
