> I'm really curious why there aren't more enterprise-grade, production ready kernels at this point.... Projects in C/C++ seem to be making much faster progress eg. SerenityOS than the Rust community.
I'm not sure you can take anyone (read: any troll) seriously who thinks SerenityOS is an enterprise-grade, production ready kernel.
Should we be writing new kernels for enterprise-y workloads? Why? World has kinda proven it likes things like binary compatibility. It likes for its software to work as it has, and for all the rest of the system to be predictable.
Should we be rewriting such kernels in Rust? Maybe. Where it is justified.
There are quite a few production ready Rust kernels for non-enterprise-y workloads: TockOS, Hubris, etc.
