Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust

Some words of encouragement in the sea of pessimism on HN which brought down the previous attempt at this [0]. Keep going, ignore the FUD and continue where others have left off.

We need alternative and safer kernels, and attempts like this should be encouraged. Rust is suitable for that guarantee.

Keep going.

Thank you very much! Even if nobody liked the project, I would not be planning to stop it. I am doing this as a hobby first!

Having even one other user than me would be terribly difficult but if it happens that would be super cool! If it does not happen, then I just have my own system and I am happy with it anyways!

It's great to see optimism on here, especially about people's personal open source projects! Cynicism is appropriate when talking about commercial and larger projects and news, but for people doing things for fun and in the open, I'd always choose the most charitable and uplifting thing to say.

About the content of your comment : IMO a true Linux replacement would also need to be gpl or otherwise strongly copyleft licensed. The fact that gpl has forced some corporations into co-operation who otherwise wouldn't have is worth a lot!
