Asterinas: a rust kernel with a linux ABI (asterinas.github.io)

Linux maintainers are unwilling to get rust into the kernel, so some rust folks decided to start writing a new kernel with same ABI. This allows them to make new architectural decisions. An example being their "frame kernel" (something between a monolithic kernel and a microkernel).

If I may say, it's more legible and the tooling is way better, right off the bat.

The website praises it as a superior license that they chose specifically because of the weak copyleft, I doubt I could change their mind

Wouldn't hurt to create the ticket, maybe even it share it here. People who support it can simply put a thumbs up.
