  • Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust
    7 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Jan 2024
    This feels like an ad; the blog post and the README feel like they were written to sound complicated and smart rather than tell the whole truth. Like, "On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)"? Apart from the fact that ring 0 will always have full control, the MMU also exists. Also, the "48k" (the kernel has 34324 lines of non-comment code, the rest are in the other repos I assume) LOC are obvious when you consider code like src/syscall/mod.rs:717 is present.

    To be fair, this is impressive, but its a basic monolithic kernel written for a school project, with the "twist" that it is in Rust and uses Linux syscalls.

    For anyone who is interesting in more Rust UNIX-like kernels, Aero (https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero) is farther ahead supports running quite a lot of recompiled Linux userspace, including dwm and WebKit.

    The label `C-kernel` basically refers to "Category: Kernel". You can take a look at https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero/labels to see what each label is used for.

    There is progress in implementing the DRM subsystem (cc https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero/blob/master/src/aero_kernel/src/drivers/drm/mod.rs) but currently it only implements a small portion of the subsystem. But yea, this was one of the blocking points.

    Get him to join the OSDev discord chat. Most of the people there started learning programming in the middle of the pandemic and are now building complex projects. Group is mostly kids his age, 12-16 year olds, learning to hack around. Like this 13 year old or this 15 year old.
