Writing an OS in Rust: Advanced Paging

I guess by OS programming I assumed they meant the kernel. Fuchsia is hardly an established OS at the moment so I don't really compare against it, and for Windows, MS's documentation has repeatedly discouraged C++. I'm sure some use C++ in the kernel anyway but I'm not under the impression it's generally accepted.

All the examples I gave, except for Fuchsia, are examples of C++ in production for kernel code.

Windows has been slowly moving into C++ since Windows 8, as Microsoft considers C++ the future of systems programming in Windows.

Wow that's good to hear, thanks. (I wasn't familiar with the other OSes so that's why I didn't comment on them.)
