OpenBSD 7.5 Released
It would be great for Rust to have a Linux target that doesn't use libc, but from what I've read, not many people are interested in this.
Found this as well: https://github.com/sunfishcode/mustang

Rust criticism from a Rustacean
Without actually having looked into this, how does https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix fit into points 1 & 2?

Integrating rustix on NuttX
Hi Rust experts, we are willing to integrate rustix on NuttX RTOS, the initial effort was done by rustix author: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix/tree/nuttx but it hit the wall since we don't know the right way to integrate cargo with the old-school NuttX's Makefiles. Any help or suggestion is welcome. More about NuttX here: https://nuttx.apache.org and here: https://nuttx.apache.org/docs/latest/

Pgwm 0.3 a pure rust `no_std` no libc window manager.
Have you considered using rustix? It provides many of the facilities of std without using libc.

Will Rust drop dependency on libc and make direct system calls? when ? (Please don't mention no_std case)
rustix can make syscalls directly to Linux. There's a rustc fork that can use it to build std.
-
Can rust be entirely written in rust and drop C usage in its code base ?
The rustix project claims to use raw syscalls (and vDSO calls) on linux and provides more memory / type safety compared to the libc API.

memmapix: A pure Rust library for cross-platform memory mapped IO, which replace libc with rustix.
Hi, the reason is explained by the description of https://github.com/bytecodealliance/rustix.

What crates would you add to a "batteries-included" library for Rust?
Please consider rustix as an alternative to nix.
