    Theseus is a modern OS written from scratch in Rust that explores 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧: closing the semantic gap between compiler and hardware by maximally leveraging the power of language safety and affine types. Theseus aims to shift OS responsibilities like resource management into the compiler.

  • I mean, there are several rust kernel/os projects in progress.

    One project that's pushing on the boundary of safety and composability is Thesus, which takes language safety to new ground by shifting traditionally OS-level responsibilities like resource management all the way down to typechecks in the language, and also explores a way of updating any core OS component on a live running system. https://github.com/theseus-os/Theseus

    There's also KataOS which google just recently announced: https://opensource.googleblog.com/2022/10/announcing-kataos-...

    As you note, these things take time, I agree with sibling that none of them are likely to be "enterprise-grade" or "production ready" this decade.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
