Re: New Operating System and Kernel development

Hi amar,

this is unrelated to GNU or Guix, but if you want to avoid C/C++ it may 
be worth taking a look at https://www.redox-os.org, which is written in 
Rust — of course there's also the GNU Hurd (and I'm sure many other 
projects), but this is the only one I'm aware of that has "avoid using 
C/C++" as one of its stated goals (apart from some more specific things 
like MirageOS, which uses OCaml a lot).
