D-Bus is an IPC mechanism that is very ubiquitous on Linux systems everywhere (desktop, cloud and embedded). It is the mechanism you' d use to communicate with many of the core Linux userspace subsystems, such as systemd, NetworkManager etc. Traditionally, most of these services have been written in C, a language known for its lack of safety and expressiveness. In the past years, Zeeshan has developed a library, called zbus for enabling implementation of D-Bus services and clients in a programming language designed for safety: Rust. zbus has become the go-to library for writing D-Bus code in Rust. While that is major step forward, the communication typically still happens through a broker and the two major broker implementation are both are written in C and have been stagnating for years. This is why Zeeshan has recently started working on writing a D-Bus broker based on zbus, called busd, which not only aims provide a drop-in replacement for existing brokers, but also modernize the D-Bus space by providing new features needed by apps and services, such as systemd. In this talk, Zeeshan will walk us through a summary of his journey so far, the current state of busd and his plans and dreams for the future of D-Bus.
