    Moss: A Linux-compatible Rust async kernel, 3 months on

    Hello! Three months ago I shared a project I’ve been working on: moss, a Linux-compatible kernel written in Rust and AArch64 assembly. Since then, it has crossed a pretty major mil…

    Yip, I panic whenever I encounter a syscall that I can't handle and that prompts me to implement it. Yeah, I was thinking of integrating that at some point. They've done a really n…

    Eventually, It'd be amazing to use Moss as my daily driver OS. That means targeting the specific hardware that I have, but in doing so, I hope to build up enough of the abstraction…

    This has been a real help! The ability to easily verify the behavior of certain pieces of code (especially mem management code) must have saved me hours of debugging. Regarding the…

    Hello! For the past 8 months, or so, I've been working on a project to create a Linux-compatible kernel in nothing but Rust and assembly. I finally feel as though I have enough wri…

    Hello! I've just released trale v0.3.0 — my attempt at building a small, simple, but fully-featured async runtime for Rust. Trale is Linux-only by design to keep abstraction levels…

    As a learning exercise on unpicking how Rust's async really works, I created trale. It's a tiny, fully working execution envinroment for async rust code on Linux. It currently stan…

    This is a project to connect two Linux machine's network stacks via the amateur radio bands. It uses Linux's TAP interface to read & write packets at layer 2 to/from the kernel. QP…

    Agreed, syntax highlighting would be great. I was thinking about something akin to fish's syntax highlighting and completion with the REPL. I'll take a look at tree-sitter. If I ge…
