Prototyping new schedulers in user-space using Rust and then re-implementing them in eBPF proves to be an effective workflow for designing specialized schedulers. The rapid edit/compile/test cycle enabled by technologies like sched_ext allows for faster, meaningful development. This method demonstrates the potential for transitioning development from Rust user-space to BPF for better performance and suggests a step toward modular scheduling in Linux.
