    Thanks for sharing your setup. Looks interesting. Maybe one day we’ll have the ability to run a full software stack without any memory unsafe programs, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it happening too soon unfortunately.

      Yeah, I don’t see any of the memory-safe open-source OS kernels reaching the popularity and compatibility of the Linux kernel anytime soon, but they are interesting to keep an eye on: https://www.redox-os.org/

      Meanwhile, Firefox is gradually shifting to using Rust more and more (I believe its WebRender engine is already Rust, as well its SVG implementation, and probably other parts by now)
