From what I understand of their product, Oxide computers (https://oxide.computer) is exactly doing this : building a server from the bottom up (OS, drivers and everything on top) in Rust. Anyone with more information can correct if I am wrong about their tech stack.

We are building those things, but to be clear about it, users workloads will run in VMs where users will have installed all the usual operating systems, we’re not like, reimplementing those or anything. We’re also using illumos. Servers have a lot going on!

Please excuse me for misrepresenting your work then Steve!

I take this opportunity to thank you for your involvement in the Rust project!

It’s not a misrepresentation, just not the full story. No worries. And you’re welcome!
