i like the idea but i struggle to see how one can go about doing 'safe' disk reads, having 'safe' ways to manage global resources in kernel land (page tables, descriptor tables etc) and a lot of other stuff. perhaps if those devices also have rust in their firmware they can reply safely?? genuinely curious because i went back to C from rust in my OS. i could not figure it out (maybe i am not a darpa level engineer but i did work at a similar place doing similar things).
id be excited if this gets solved. rust is a lot more comfy for higher level kernel stuff.
