@bascule they usually don't do it- if there's one thing folks should dig into, it's all the old drivers. They need to be cleaned up. -
@KCombinator drivers are the main reason why a Rust OS probably won't happen any time soon :( -
@bascule I think that generally, C is okay for OSes- as long as devs don't stick their heads in the sand. Which most do.
