   xv6 rewrites in The Register   
   07 Aug 23 12:50:46   
   
   From: cross@spitfire.i.gajendra.net   
      
   The Register recently had an article about xv6 rewrites in Rust,   
   mentioning both octox and rxv64 (disclaimer: I wrote rxv64).   
   https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/28/octox_v6_unix_in_rust/   
      
   This was interesting, though the article could use both an   
   editor and some technical proof-reading: in particular, it   
   totally misses the point when it discusses "langauge statistics"   
   for both: some of the userspace programs for rxv64 are in C, as   
   I wanted to demonstrate how the kernel implementation is   
   independent of the implementation of user-space programs at at   
   least the language level.   
      
   It is, at least, interesting to see some of these projects get   
   some attention from the press.
