Asterinas: a rust kernel with a linux ABI (asterinas.github.io)

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.

this is very cool.

one of the main issues with a lot of alternate kernels is the driver support. even a really impressive project like Redox is kinda limited to the hardware the maintainers can get their hands on.

Would this support that?
