I read through some of the blog posts related to language choice for NTPSec (helpfully provided in LWN comments). https://blog.ntpsec.org/ https://blog.ntpsec.org/ I can't help but wonder if there are other options, most notably C++. Don't get me wrong, I have a well developed loathing of C++ based on past experience, but it seems like a category fit and people I respect have said good things about the latest versions. Nim would also seem like a pretty good fit technically, though I could well understand if its relative immaturity and lack of developers (another recent story here on HN) cause it to be deemed inappropriate for this situation.
