"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."

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.
