We need a safer systems programming language

In our first post in this series, we discussed the need for proactively addressing memory safety issues. Tools and guidance are demonstrably not preventing this class of vulnerabilities; memory safety issues have represented almost the same proportion of vulnerabilities assigned a CVE for over a...

Efficient Go APIs with the mid-stack inliner

A common task in Go API design is returning a byte slice. In this post I will explore some old techniques and a new one that became possible in Go 1.12 with the introduction of the mid-stack inliner. Returning a fresh slice The most natural approach is to return a fresh byte slice, like...
