Off the top of my head:
- strongly typed syscalls.
- easier way to circumvent the kernel / OS (unikernels are very active and tangible space, see HFT) while potentially staying relatively safe
- safe zero copy IPC
- projects like https://zinc.rs/ which fold Embedded Linux' Device Tree concept into a coherent declarative HW description that is consumable by the bootstrapper
