Show HN: Redox Rust OS – v0.3.3 release

Re:Show HN: Redox Rust OS – v0.3.3 release by eklavya on Wednesday September 20, 2017 @12:04AM (#15290747)

I have a question. In the fuchsia/zircon thread some people (committers?) were saying that Rust was not suited and would be difficult. Redox is also a microkernel. So are there any limitations or not?

Limitations of Rust or of microkernels?

Rust has not impacted development in any negative way. On the contrary, it has been incredibly helpful and has boosted development.

The only thread that I saw was someone decrying that Zircon was written in C++ rather than C, which later turned into a discussion on Rust. I haven't seen any Zircon committers comment on Rust; can you find the link you're thinking of?

I may have been mis-remembering. I was hoping to see more Rust in it since it was new.
