Is anyone writing a Python interpreter in Rust? Or an OpenSSL fork? Cert parsing libraries at least? I know there is a project to rewrite coreutils into Rust, seems that would also be a good demo. I don’t think the kernel drivers thing has landed yet, but it is also an interesting project.

There's a JIT framework in Rust: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime There's a library for doing full X.509 certificate parsing and verification: https://briansmith.org/rustdoc/webpki/ https://briansmith.org/rustdoc/webpki/ There's definitely some attempts at doing pure-Rust SSL, but I suspect a lot of them are also doing some sketchy things with crypto that shouldn't be trusted (getting constant-time stuff implemented properly is really challenging, and probably requires large amounts of assembly to guarantee correctness).

While not Rust, there are definitely Python implementations in safe languages, namely Python itself, Java and .NET.
