OT: if you're interested in Asterinas, you might also be interested in Redox (entire OS written in Rust).

Redox has a proper architecture, aka microkernel multiserver.

Thus it is a much more interesting project.

To be fair Aester is just a monolithic kernel that philosophically quarantines unsafe code to the lowest level of the kernel.

You still have kernel modules for microkernel-like functionality
