random question from a beginner, has anyone written an OS in Go?
EggOS looks pretty close. Goose too. At least, they're Go programs designed to boot on bare metal.

Securely Chaining Wi-Fi Routers (2022)
An "advert" for a BSD-licensed open-source codebase? Pointers to a comparable OSS networking project, implemented in memory-safe golang or rust, would be appreciated. There is https://router7.org, but for a narrow use case.

Gokrazy Is Cool
I'm also a fan of router7[0] which is based on gokrazy. I'd love to build my own router like it some day.

Building Rust code for my OpenWrt Wi-Fi router
You can do more in a single binary, in the style of BusyBox / router7. Of course, you'd still have to ship BusyBox for admin/debug purposes, but you can save some disk space and probably boot performance too if you don't spawn new processes for every write to /proc or whatever.
