Only a matter of time until a massive hype settles, and a sense of reality returns again. Rust works on Redox, because that OS has been written in Rust from the get go. Rust does not work on Linux or FreeBSD, because those are written in C. It's really that simple! "But Unix was written in Assembly, and got rewritten in C!" Yes, but C is pretty close to Assembly, and the Unix codebase back then was still small, so a rewrite was pretty easy. Good luck rewriting the entire Linux kernel to Rust without committing suicide though. --=20 lain.
