Redox OS finishes NLnet-funded io_uring-style Ring Buffer I/O system

LWN commenters compare Redox's microkernel to Xous

3 Oct 29 9:25 AM · 14d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 3 of 4

In LWN's comment thread on the project summary, readers debated how Redox's full-OS microkernel design compares to Xous, a Rust-based embedded/IoT secure microkernel, with commenters concluding the two serve different purposes.

“Redox is much more of a traditional full OS microkernel and resource manager. Instead of "everything is a file", Redox goes with "everything is a URL".”
