Re:Writing an OS in Rust: Remap the Kernel

(#10824001)
Rust was specifically designed as a language for doing low-level stuff. Or at least, to fit squarely in C's domain.
Building an OS rather than applications still has some rough edges, but we're working on them. One of the reasons that I'm playing with OS stuff is to make sure we have a core team member to advocate for those features, as they are fairly niche. Most people are interacting with their OS, rather than writing one, so it's easy to put them off.
