32 bit kernel written in Rust

OSNews, Generic OSes "A tiny 32 bit kernel written in Rust. I was inspired to download Rust and try to do this after seeing zero.rs - a stub that lets Rust programs run almost freestanding. It paints the screen bright red and then hangs. That's it."

Hi,

This is exactly the kind of thing I like to see on here amongst all the other articles.


Agreed (in theory).

Sure the results aren't ground breaking, but hearing about someone doing something like this in a language i"ve never heard of is definitely of interest.


I'm not sure what they're doing in Rust; but the boot loader and the code to paint the screen red is all written in assembly.
