[$] Giving Rust a chance for in-kernel codecs

Description:
Video playback is undeniably one of the most important features in modern consumer devices. Yet, surprisingly, users are by and large unaware of the intricate engineering involved in the compression and decompression of
video data, with codecs being left to find a delicate balance between image quality, bandwidth, and power consumption. In response to constant
performance pressure, video codecs have become complex and hardware implementations are now common, but programming these devices is becoming increasingly difficult and fraught with opportunities for exploitation. I
hope to convey how Rust can help fix this problem.
