Ask HN: Are there any useful pure Rust servers/utilities?

3 pointsby lasiotusover 2 years ago
Are there any useful pure Rust servers&#x2F;utilities?<p>Context: I&#x27;m working on an experimental Rust OS, and I&#x27;m doing the &quot;Rust first&quot; approach, i.e. my goal is to make sure that Rust programs with no FFI (but with std) work: it is relatively easy to port Rust std to a new OS without libc. And like, why should I first implement libc, if I&#x27;m not doing another unix clone?<p>However, I can&#x27;t find any pure Rust utilities&#x2F;programs: everything depends on libc or Linux syscalls, either directly or transitively through other deps. I would&#x27;ve expected that by now there would be a ton of pure Rust things, from shells to ssh clients&#x2F;servers to web servers to databases, but I can&#x27;t find anything...
