Personally, I am really excited by Relibc. While there is a certain irony in a C standard library that is not written in C, it seems like exactly the kind a place you want to have the advantages of Rust. I would love to see it find success beyond Redox as well.
It looks cool, when I was young and Linux was just few years around it was very limited and people considered it a toy, but it being limited in supporting stuff was the reason I loved it, as it would force me to go around and explore and experiment, and I guess it developed my passion for informatics. Now Linux is a bit of low maintenance system. But I hope your system may become the reason why kids of today explore and read and experiment and which light their passion for this world in them. Good luck! I say it because every now and then I think about my history and am afraid that kids of today between all the ready to use and black boxes stuff have little to experiment
Silly absurd question, is it possible to get something like Wine working so we can keep using debian packages ?<p>I strongly doubt that within scope for a single developer, but I would absolutely love to be able to run Linux software on something that's not Linux.
I don't know anything about building a POSIX OS from scratch. I don't know much about Rust as well. That said, Redox code base is clean and very approachable. Kudos!<p>I do see a lot of unsafe keyword, are they inevitable?
Very exciting.<p>As soon as there's a working compiler it might be fun to implement something like gentoo's ports system, would be quite fun to run something like that as an excercise in how far pure rust can get you. :D
As Kerla, this is an excellent project, that they will could be a replace of Linux (as kernel) but not, because they lost the opportunity in the start.
