If you want a new kernel that is "not a toy project" then pay someone to write it.

What I want is that HN will have less toy stuff upvoted because the title contains a specific keyword. I will submit tomorrow my X11 re implementation in Rust, it is a thing I made in weekends, full of bugs , it is missing everything and I am not experienced in anything graphics related but I read half a book about X11 and a fvew Rust blogs and now I will be on HN first page and get tons of stars on GitHub.

Long story short, HN should not be IMO a Rust forum where any toy or shit re-implementation is admitted but it is what it is, fanboys will up-vote anything until the Rust image gets completely destroyed.

Exactly. That also goes for the Rust upvote rings artificially voting any projects with 'written in Rust™' in the title or every single Rust patch release.

Chances are, the crate is not even production ready.
