Theseus
A modern operating system written in Rust that explores intralingual design, shifting OS responsibilities like resource management into the compiler.
What is Theseus?
Theseus is a modern operating system written from scratch in Rust that experiments with intralingual design principles. It aims to close the semantic gap between compiler and hardware by shifting traditional OS responsibilities like resource management into the compiler, leveraging Rust's safety features and affine types. The OS is designed for novel structure, better state management, and improved reliability in systems.
Systems researchers, embedded systems developers, and OS enthusiasts interested in experimental operating system design, Rust-based systems programming, and compiler-OS integration.
Theseus offers a unique approach to OS design through intralingual design, providing stronger safety guarantees and potentially higher reliability by integrating OS functionality with compiler-level checks. Its experimental nature makes it a valuable platform for researching new OS architectures and fault tolerance mechanisms.
Overview
