Crates and Cargo-WDK: A Geordie’s Overview
Rust Drivers: The Lovely Beginning
In the realm of Windows drivers, crafting them in Rust is akin to placing a pint in a wine glass – posh, but does it function? Microsoft’s getting there, y’know. They’ve put together crates and a cargo-wdk toolkit for those keen on giving it a go. It’s not quite a top-tier match yet. You’d reckon it was a night out in Toon with how sluggish it’s progressing.
Developers’ Toolkit: A Bit of Everything
Microsoft’s been working hard to make Rust the preferred choice for those drivers. They’ve assembled new tools and samples for developers to sink their teeth into. It’s somewhat like handing you a shiny new set of tools but discovering it’s missing a wrench. Ah, the excitement of new technology!
The Kernel Hook Puzzle
Kernel Hooks: A Test of Patience
Kernel hooks in Rust are still like my Jack Russell – brimming with potential but occasionally a proper handful. Microsoft’s earnestly attempting to address this. It’s like observing a builder in a flat cap trying to hang wallpaper during a storm. They’re nearly there but not quite perfect yet.
Conclusion
Rust in Progress: A Story of Win(dows) and Challenges
So, in classic Geordie style – they’re making an effort, bless ’em. Microsoft’s progressing but Rust drivers on Windows are still a bit like a tepid pint. It’s moving forward, though at a leisurely pace. So, keep your eyes on it, but don’t hold your breath.
