It would cease to be Linux, but by all means -- make it so!

BTW Redox OS (written in rust) originally supported Linux syscalls which I thought was a super cool feature.

Jorge Aparicio started steed, a libc implemented in rust for rust. It seems like a pretty interesting approach.

Thank you. Actually, I have a series of articles about a libc written in Rust for Rust which I started writing before steed was published, and… isn’t finished yet. :-/ But maybe, I will finish and publish it eventually…
