I think any new OS should be written in a memory save language like Rust. And there are actually some that use Rust in the works I think, could not name names but ...


That's too broad a statement.

But yes, if you're starting from scratch, that virtually begs to do something at the language level.

A quick look at the repo suggests this is coded in C++? Too bad - a missed opportunity imho.

Otherwise a very cool project!


Redox does, if you're into that.


Still not memory safe as soon as you do anything involving a JIT or hardware access. You need secure hardware and assembly language as well.


Yeah sure, still I think its better to start with a more modern and more save language even though it does not make everything automatically secure.
