#3Nice project, with so many emojis at the start of every title of the README.
Wonder who could have done that?

#4I just compared this Rust implementation against the original C sources. Some ~50k SLOC (Rust) compared to maybe ~8-12k SLOC of C (depending on if you count headers). Why is the Rust implementation so much more complex and onerous?

I don't think it's rust

More LoC means easier to quantify the impact when telling a story. The actual code quality may be lower but that’s the schmuck’s problem that comes after once promo is acquired.

One of the tradeoffs of Rust is its verbosity I think (in return for which Rustaceans would say you gain explicitness).

#9rewriting {PROGRAM} in rust is so fetch.

According to this breakdown: https://ghloc.vercel.app/Poseidon-fan/linux-0.11-rs?branch=m...
It's about 15k lines of code for the kernel and the rest is various utilities, libraries and programs that can run on the kernel.
