Comment on The Unix Executable as a Smalltalk Method [pdf]parent

Sounds interesting; I would like to see more OSes built out of passion. Just curious about design choices (I don't mean to come off as aggressive below):

from basing off of Plan 9 to building a new exokernel in a language like Rust

This seems like a big change. Won't the driver support and infrastructure be even more of a hassle? And why an exokernel in particular?

using a single-address space design similar to Opal

Why?

I like the emphasis on composability and user control. I think, more and more, people are realizing the necessity to seek out OS designs different than the mainstream offerings'. Can't let Linux be the final stage of OS evolution!
