According to The American Heritage Dictionary an operating system is: "Software designed to control the hardware of a specific data-processing system in order to allow users and application programs to make use of it." The question is how much Operating System is a software that delegates all "control the hardware" parts to the layer below. I know there are wider definitions of OS, but my point is this is not going to replace Linux. Without question projects like MotorOS are sill useful. Besides practical applications it's a nice idea. Just recently I wrote in another thread that I would love to have a glimpse into an alternative universe, where Pascal had won over C and everything was Pascal-based. The idea to have everything Rust-based is even more exciting.
