Programming languages tend to polarize, and Rust is by far no exception. Whether it will stick around and grow as an alternative for the lower levels or not — time will tell. In the meantime, if you're curious about the language and its low-level abilities yourself, [phil-opp] has written a series of blog posts on building your own little bare metal kernel in Rust.
Starting from the basics, [phil-opp] describes in detail the set-up and build process to create a standalone executable that won't be linked against the Rust standard library. From here he proceeds to build a simple operating system kernel that prints a good old Hello World via VGA output — QEMU emulation included. And of course, there is a GitHub repository with all of the source code.

Bitch, please. I can out-logic anyone here in offline matters. It takes the whole damned site to provide any useful debugging of my positions.

Grindr tracks positions, you know. might make it easier than virtually engaging in them here.

Unfortunately I'm in a demographic those bigoted faggots discriminate against.
