Muen SK for x86/64 – formally verified Separation Kernel

Now with the push for memory safe, high-integrity applications, I am looking for a separation kernel or formally verified OS to base my automation software upon. Rust was a contender a few years ago, but with no formal specification standard yet like C++&#x2F;C, and having a steep learning curve, I decided on SPARK2014&#x2F;Ada due to the simpler language and formal verification tooling as well as decades of high-integrity software in production. Has anyone worked with either Muen or Ironclad&#x2F;Gloire? I&#x27;d prefer a microkernel vs. monolithic kernel, and I have started looking at Minix3 as a base due to that and its compatibility with a ton of NetBSD packages and great documentation in the form of a textbook. I think choosing Rust for such projects is high-risk given it is not even close to SPARK2014&#x2F;Ada in this arena.<p><pre><code> https:&#x2F;&#x2F;muen.codelabs.ch&#x2F; https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Ironclad-Project&#x2F;Gloire</code></pre>
