You could use https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/process_vm_readv.2.html https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/process_vm_readv.2.htm.... You could fork and ptrace. You can do any number of weird things. Every day that goes by is a day I think we should make a beeline to CHERI even when we have "safe" languages.
