After reading Drew's pitch to the rust community to write our own kernel, I've searched for "linux abi compatible rust kernel" and found "Asterinas". Surprised that it is not mentioned here

Looks interesting. Linux ABI compatibility is a herculean task though. Probably on the order of writing a web browser or a MS Word compatible word processor.

The project looks amazing! It looks like its initial use case maybe closer to SEL4 in the trusted computing space but if it can support containers I'm pumped to try and get RKE2 running on it.

The thought put into DevX really is the nicest part to me though.

Oh wow.. This might be what the rust in Linux people need to switch to. Fuck all the LKML bullshit, fuck mailinglists, fuck C, fuck the shitty tooling and hodgepodge of languages. This looks amazing. Seriously, cargo run and the kernel starts up in a VM? How friggin cool is that?

Wow...
