  • I’d recommend spending some time reading about it. It’s not as hard as he thinks. Applications developed for Linux are quite easy to port to Redox. It supports many of the same system calls and has a compatible libc implementation. The kernel does have abstractions to ease the porting process. And if you’re going to make a new kernel today, you should do it right and make a microkernel like Redox. One of the benefits of having a microkernel is that it doesn’t matter what language you write drivers in. They’re isolated to their own processes. Rust, C, C++, whatever.
