Developing a new kernel or operating system in Rust is a good idea, but a massive undertaking, and it's hard to see it gaining adoption quickly. I think a more credible way to benefit from Rust in the short term is to rewrite small but critical components of existing kernels, or adopt Rust components from experimental Rust OS projects. Similarly, Firefox's Project Quantum seeks to bring Rust to Firefox from the more experimental Servo project.
