Already done, months ago, with better taste: https://github.com/rustcoreutils/posixutils-rs

I needed this for experimenting. Sharing with others. Please file issues, to extend.

Passes 100% of userland tests, supporting 99% of linux syscalls (though very few filesystems!)

I always wanted a kernel where I can experiment with the device driver model, eBPF, device tree and more. Now I've built one:

Somewhat related, a kernel in Rust: https://github.com/jgarzik/hk

Accelerated by Claude Code, leashed tightly by unit and integration tests, and test-driven development.

Speaking as a compiler and kernel expert, the productivity boost for domain experts is real.

Compiler status: Full C99 compliance, test suites pass, alpha-beta stage, starting to test on Gentoo and open source package builds "real world builds"

Posixutils status: Very close to 1.0 (all POSIX utils, all POSIX util features, tests pass)

Submissions

"apython": Accelerated asm Python 3.12

RooDB outperforms MySQL on all benchmarks

RooDB: Now faster than MySQL (acc. to sysbench 1M rows)

BotMaker: Simple Openclaw Configurator

BrainPro: "OpenCode and mullbot, in Rust" – secure agentic platform

High performance, open source RAFT clustered database: RooDB

CFT: "sqawk" 0.8.0 – optimized SQL Awk utility with Rust's sqlparser

It boots on real hardware (hk kernel)

It boots (Linux compatible kernel)

A new C99 optimizing compiler, with full testsuite

Xbasic: 1980s era BASIC, compiler to x86-64, complete with test suite
