PowerNex: a kernel written in the D Programming Language

Because it's a modern, safer systems language. It fills more or less the same niche as Rust except it's more familiar to C++ programmers, or at least that's been my experience. I know C++ fairly well, and I feel more at home with D than with Rust.

Why is D a good choice for writing a whole OS?

Well, basically, http://dlang.org/ , under the fold with "Why D?".

I think it'd be really interesting if someone tried rewriting the Linux kernel in D (or Rust for that matter) and then compared the performance, lines-of-code, etc.

Maybe it could even be done with just one small but critical portion and linked, so it isn't such a monumental task.

Will someone with familiarity with both Rust and D talk a bit about the similarities and differences?
