There's tons of stuff of the kind you're describing in Rust, more than I care to list but I'll offer you some [1-3] that I think would interest you (based on this comment alone). If your perception of what people are doing in Rust is driven by what people post to HN, it may not reflect everything that is going on in that ecosystem.

- uecker 2y agoFair enough, I may not have the full picture. But "writing an OS in Rust" sounds also seems the "innovative" part is that something is written in Rust. I do not need a new OS in written in a different language. I could use a good open-source CAD tool, or a good open-source FPGA tool chain (maybe those exist, I need to do some research). A language and projects written in it do not impress me if its own novelty is the selling point, but if the language can be used to solve problem I have. But yes, maybe those projects do exist somewhere...
