A comparison of operating systems written inRust.
There are several open source operating systems written in Rust.Most of them are proofs of concepts.The only system that goes a step further isRedox.It comes with a window manager as well as basic applications like aneditor and a file manager.Theseus is approaching maturity with the ability to execute legacy components in a WASM sandboxed environment.
