Redox OS

Intressant nytt OS under utveckling. Redox är ett unix-liknande OS där man använder Rust som programmerings-språk.

"Redox is a Unix-like Operating System written in Rust, aiming to bring the innovations of Rust to a modern microkernel and full set of applications."
https://www.redox-os.org

"Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety."
https://www.rust-lang.org

"Rust has enormous advantages, because for operating systems safety matters. A lot, actually.

Since operating systems are such an integrated part of computing, they are a very security critical component.

There have been numerous bugs and vulnerabilities in Linux, BSD, Glibc, Bash, X, etc. throughout time, simply due to the lack of memory and type safety. Rust does this right, by enforcing memory safety statically."
