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.

      But what is wrong with C and C++ apart from the ISO fuck-up (ahem, slow updates)? There’s a lot of technical debt, so wouldn’t it be better to create an alt-language compiler that adds improvement over C, so that migration is possible in multiple stages?

      Something like:

      1. Fix shitty imports
      2. Improve syntax rule
      3. Improve memory management
      4. Other new misc features

        Rust isn’t just a new improved version of C or C++. It’s completely new and it feels completely different to use Rust. In a positive way
