Why you should, actually, rewrite some of it in Rust

Linux/BSD/Unix are hardly the only systems programming environments. I'd hesitate even to call them the majority.

And for now, there are definitely ways to handle signals using libraries.

Do you have any source that can confirm that? Because what you wrote seems really wrong. I see linuxes/bsd/unix EVERYWHERE (Android/iOS/OSX/almost all backend servers etc.)

I'm thinking of embedded systems and desktop machines- the first tends not to use an OS nearly that big (if any at all), and the second tends to use Windows.
