Rust's documentation is very well written. The authors have put in great effort to make things clear. Granted Rust has some paradigms and constructs which are not easy to learn, I found it rather exciting. I think it has future scope. Wonder whats happening with Redox. I hope Rust adds more libraries, especially network related, since the networked world is increasingly looking like a distributed OS of sort. Browsers are looking like an OS or a shell inside the OS. Browsers are getting more complex with more functionalities added every few months. Not sure I expressed my thoughts correctly, but I guess one can understand what I mean. Rust should move away from C standard library, if possible.

They've been involved in Google Summer of Code, and so have had lots of status update posts lately, here's the latest: https://redox-os.org/news/gsoc-self-hosting-final/ https://redox-os.org/news/gsoc-self-hosting-final/ > Rust should move away from C standard library, if possible. It's not always possible, but on systems where it is, there's some ability to do so, see https://github.com/japaric/steed https://github.com/japaric/steed

  Thanks Steve. >It's not always possible, but on systems where it is, there's some ability to do so, see https://github.com/japaric/steed https://github.com/japaric/steed Doesn't linking to it make a Rust program "unsafe", in the Rust sense? Or my understanding is probably not correct.

    Using unsafe inside of safe is totally fine. See https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/safe-unsafe-meaning.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/safe-unsafe-meaning.html for more.
