How does one find a weekend to un-jankify their emacs configuration?

I crap you not, I have a ton of cruft in there from before useful versions of use-package and melpa exist. Now it is Frankenstein monstered in with more modern approaches.

Sigh. If only time grew on trees.

I don't know of any research that the pl community has done to make ebpf programming actually good.

There's a massively deployed jit/verified execution environment that is integral to most modern infrastructure, and programming it sucks.

Seems like low-hanging fruit.

Am I missing existing work?

Yeah, I think I got the gist of all of this. Thanks!

I'm finding a lot of the datalog literature that focuses on program transformations to be needlessly complicated compared to simple dataflow graph transformations (more common in the DB literature, it seems). Regardless, thanks for the perspective.

I've context switched back to debugging annoying assembly and bootstrapping issues, so already forgot half of what I know about datalog.

Replying to @csgordon@types.pl
@csgordon@types.pl @krismicinski@types.pl @regehr@mastodon.social A little confused. The linked boards use the Allwinner H616 or H618 chips, which are Arm Cortex A53 chips. I believe that this https://mangopi.org/mqpro is a Risc-V chip, but details are light. I believe it is this https://riscv.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Allwinner-XuanTie-C906-RISC-V-Processor.jpg thus 64 bit, single core, 512MiB. If the latter is all correct, your point is still spot-on, so long as this board is available. Pity no multi-core.
