Rue is an early-stage research project aimed at creating a programming language that offers memory safety without garbage collection, while being easier to learn than Rust. The project is a collaboration between developer Steve Klabnik and AI assistant Claude, and is still in development with many features yet to come.

Tempest is a research-focused command and control framework developed entirely in Rust, intended for educational purposes rather than production use. It provides a modular architecture for building implants and allows users to modify and extend the codebase, facilitating a deeper understanding of design decisions and techniques in C2 frameworks. The project is continuously evolving, with a roadmap for future features and improvements outlined in its documentation.
