@jyn a very interesting read, thanks for writing it up! Will I eventually be able to use a compiler driver like this one to make sure my uncertified (and probably uncertifiable) rust code can't panic? Or will this stay in the certified world as a differentiator?

    @hunger almost all the work that Ferrocene does is open source, and I would expect the panic detection to be open source if we implemented it. ideally it would even be an (allow-by-default) lint built in to rustc. however that assumes it actually gets implemented. I want to write it! But company policy is that we don’t do this much work unless a customer pays for it.
