Lenôtre: Maestro - Introduction
Wednesday January 3, 2024. 05:05 PM , from LWN.net
On his blog,
Luc Lenôtre introduces Maestro, 'a Unix-like kernel and operating system written from scratch in Rust'. Maestro is intended to be 'lightweight and compatible-enough with Linux to be usable in everyday life'. The project began, in C, back in 2018, but switched over to Rust after a year-and-a-half. The current status: Maestro is a monolithic kernel, supporting only the x86 (in 32 bits) architecture for now. At the time of writing, 135 out of 437 Linux system calls (roughly 31%) are more or less implemented. The project has 48 800 lines of code across 615 files (all repositories combined, counted using the cloc command). There is a Hacker News discussion of the project as well.
