<p>Atomic linux distributions promise a lot for the future of the operating system. Security, stability, ease up updates, testability, reproducibility, etc. These projects achieve these benefits by reducing the churn on the base system and nudging the user towards more sanboxed solutions for their apps. An oft perceived downside of this architecture is limited customization options.</p>

<p>One of Rust's killer features is its amazing memory management system via the vaunted "Borrow Checker". We can use this awesome sauce to enhance the ergonomics and safety of interoperating with other languages, as well!</p>
