In pieces of my code, I need to call setuserid() to manage some of the security that I designed in 2010.
There was no Rust at that point, and I used the most basic tool that could do it.
Could I have done this in Java with gymnastics of JNI, linking C into the JRE?
Definite maybe.
Yes, nowadays with Panama, and before Rust was around, JNA was already there so using JNI wasn't strictly necessary.
