Linux maintainers are unwilling to get rust into the kernel, so some rust folks decided to start writing a new kernel with same ABI. This allows them to make new architectural decisions. An example being their “frame kernel” (something between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel).

If I may say, it’s more legible and the tooling is way better, right off the bat.

    Well at least this time I’m not getting dogpiled by a bunch of Rust fanatics.

    Edit: oh, here they are.

      I’m pretty sure Lemmy isn’t about having well-reasoned opinions… They need to be strong, and be blasted out there 🤗 I think it’s a bit weird that specifically niche Linux topics like Rust, Flatpak and whatever I’ve discussed here, trigger some emotional responses in some people. I’m more emotional about licensing and freedom. Less so about specific technology stacks. They usually come with objective arguments, and use-cases that change the perspective.
