You can also open `<(yes '\007')` or something, or use `mkfifo` if you don't want to rely on bash.

Not as fun as a kernel module, though :-)

If I had my way you'd be able to define new kernel modules by downloading a few lines of PostScript. ;) Ok, JavaScript these days. But you know what I mean.

  • I think spectre killed any future attempt to run sandboxed untrusted code in a previleged domain.

  • postscript is the cutest language i have ever learnt. I'd love to be able to use it more.

    • It's essentially RPN Lisp (with dynamic binding, via the dictionary stack). NeWS had an OOP package that used the dict stack to implement a very Smalltalk-like object system with multiple inheritance, which could dynamically define methods and properties in objects and classes, etc.
