After reading Drew’s pitch to the rust community to write our own kernel, I’ve searched for “linux abi compatible rust kernel” and found “Asterinas”. Surprised that it is not mentioned here

    Looks interesting. Linux ABI compatibility is a herculean task though. Probably on the order of writing a web browser or a MS Word compatible word processor.

    Oh wow… This might be what the rust in Linux people need to switch to. Fuck all the LKML bullshit, fuck mailinglists, fuck C, fuck the shitty tooling and hodgepodge of languages. This looks amazing. Seriously, cargo run and the kernel starts up in a VM? How friggin cool is that?

    Wow…
