Comment on Maestro, a Linux compatible kernel written in Rust.
asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world 10 months ago- Memory safety is super important
- Rust is far more approachable than C, so contribution and iteration is easier
- Did we really need an OS when Linux was released? It wasn’t the first.

At least since maybe some really old mainframe back when stuff came with source code
