This isn’t Linux, but Linux-like. Its a microkernel built from the rust programming language. Its still experimental, but I think it has great potential. It has a GUI desktop, but the compiler isn’t quite fully working yet.

Has anyone used this before? What was your experience with it?

Note: If this is inappropriate since this isn’t technically Linux, mods please take down.

    1. breaks compatibility
    2. breaks compatibility
    3. breaks compatibility
    4. hard to add without breaking compatibility

    Then we arrive at Rust as a natural outcome.

    And it’s of course possible to migrate to Rust from C or C++ progressively, fish has almost got it done.

      Did fish migrate progressively tho? I thought they swap out everything at once as soon as the rewrite is ready

        Well, they are not going to release in between, but their rewrite still “works” at each commit being a hybrid of Rust and C++.
