Do BSDs even have rust support for their drivers? 4 comments surajrmal Reply gpm 10 months ago For what it's worth, the Oxide Computing people have written illumos driver(s) in rust: https://github.com/oxidecomputer/opte/tree/master/xde umanwizard 10 months ago Illumos is based on Solaris, not BSD. throwway120385 10 months ago I believe it's a microkernel, so in the sense that every driver is a separate userspace process, yes. umanwizard 10 months ago That’s not true. BSD (including all the existing flavors/descendants AFAIK) has a monolithic kernel.Perhaps you’re confusing it with XNU? (Which is Mach merged with some BSD stuff).
