(Safe) Rust provides some nice guarantees. It (should be) impossible to have use-after-free, buffer overruns, race conditions, etc. in 100% Safe Rust. A pure Rust OS could provide a safe interface to build safe programs.

While mostly a novelty, an OS capable of executing untrusted code risk-free could be a powerful tool indeed.
