Subject: Isa vs Rust (was Fair Pay Philosophy, Unification in Bitstream
 System, Low Jitter)

There seems to be two major potential directions coming:

Isa vs Rust programming language.

Isa aims for Isa CPU, avoiding compilation. Rust seems to indicate not.

Linus will not be managing Rust code he says. That may mean Isa aswell.

Isa slots indicated optimality of this a long while ago and still is this.

I am with the Isa branch, and encourage so. (C really is Isa right.)

Light!
