"If only they used DC from the wall socket, all those H100s would be green" is, not, I think, the hill you want to die on.

But, yeah, my three 18MW/y racks agree that more power efficiency would be nice, it's just that Rewrite It In (Safe) Rust is unlikely to help with that...

I didn't see any mention of Rust in the article?

The raison d'être of Oxide isn't Rust, it's continuing to pretend that the bloated corpse of Solaris still has some signs of life.

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/commits/master/ looks alive to me.

(And for that matter, Oracle's proprietary Solaris seems better maintained than I ever expected, though in this context I think the open source fork is the relevant thing to look at.)
