Funding Redox OS Development

For those wondering, Redox is a fairly new OS project, written in Rust, making amazing progress [1].

You may ask why?

The creator in his own words:

"Redox goes beyond developing a micro kernel, and associated drivers. Redox includes a large number of projects that run on any Rust platform - Windows, Linux, and OS X.

I want to develop a Rust ecosystem that enables users to design secure systems, even if they choose to install the Redox userland on a different kernel. As for the whole Redox system, including the kernel, the use cases of a secure computing platform based on a microkernel, Rust, and a well designed ABI are limitless. I would want to initially target the virtualized server market, followed by embedded systems, followed by turning Redox into a hypervisor."

I am personally interested in projects that actually push the low level parts of Rust and prove that it can indeed be used in areas such as OS development. Rust already prioritised some things because of Redox and I'd imagine it can serve a similar role as Servo does, but for a lower-level of the stack.

I'd consider signing up for the Patreon[2] if you can.
