Enough of it is performance sensitive that Fil-C is not an option.

Fil-C is useful for the long tail of C/C++ that no one will bother to rewrite and is still usable if slow.

    How is apt performance sensitive?

      Apt has been painfully slow since I started using Debian last millennium, but I suspect it's not because it uses a lot of CPU, or it would be snappy by now.

      It parses formats and does TLS, I’m assuming it’d be quite bad. I don’t think you can mix and match.

        stuff that talks to "the internet" and runs as "root" seems like a good thing to build with filc.
