Re Fuchsia: Google is restarting in one sense, replacing the Linux kernel in Android it would seem, partly in Rust. But they can't really restart, since they can't stray too far from their libraries and huge app pile. Is that something that eats at those programmers, or is it really not a big deal to forgo pure freedom to invent, since we've gotten it mostly right by now, anyway?
My strong impression of Redox was that it sticks very close to Unix principles (and libraries) and was not a clean restart. But I may very well not understand all that one can do if you are writing in Rust from the start.
