I'd really like to see that. Would be cool to see a completely new Linux user space written in Rust. Not necessarily a rewrite of existing software, new ideas would be great. I tested Linux system calls and they worked very well even though they needed experimental inline assembly functionality to work. With system call support, anything is possible.

Once upon a time there was a project to do a Linux distribution in Ada.

Unfortunately it died a couple of years later.

Slowly there's more and more implementations emerging of Linux userland utils in Rust.

It's taking a while.
