This isn’t technically Linux, but I couldn’t find a better place to post this. Redox is looking like a very neat project and less of a tech demo.

Adding support for COSMIC, Qt, and GTK sounds impressive but all it really means is adding support for Wayland. I mean adding Wayland support is impressive enough but the rest kind of come for free.
The same is true of relibc really. I mean, once you have matured the C library, POSIX support is a layup and everything else flows from that.
I really like the idea of Relibc as the benefits of Rust would be very welcome in something as foundational as the C library. It would be interesting to see it used by a Linux distro.
Interesting to see that Redox will use GCC. Given that Rust / LLVM are so foundational to the system, I am surprised their main C / C++ compiler is not Clang.
