Initial commit
Although I hope that Redox[2] takes off more so than rust makes it into existing systems. I dream of one day ordering a System76 with Redox already installed.

- ashtonkem 6y agoI was going to say, all this discussion of whether you can make OS utilities in rust seems to be ignoring the entire OS that’s actually being written in rust!
- jacquesm 6y agoHow long until it will have the same kind of reputation that OpenBSD has?
- ashtonkem 6y agoThat’s really hard to say. Creating an OS that actually sees usage is hard, and involves a huge number of non-technical hurdles to adoption. It’s entirely possible that Redox will technically work, but never gain any following because it doesn’t solve any problem well enough to justify the switching cost.
