Redox OS - an OS built entirely out of Rust
(www.redox-os.org)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Kinda. Redox uses a microkernel architecture and tries to keep only the most important functionality in ring 0 while they push everything else in userspace. It's great.
So they actually rewrote The Hurd in Rust.
Many lessons were learned from the Hurd that has impacted ALL microkernel kernel and userspace designs, but it is ancient by today's standards.
Its more accurate to say they were "rewriting" MINIX, but I don't like the word "rewriting" as all of these systems are unique in their own way.
