I'm only just learning about all this stuff so might be a somewhat naive question, but if we created some kind of operating system like plan9 that was coded in rust or another similar language, that offered compatibility for existing linux software, and then moved towards creating all new software in memory safe languages would this solve not only this problem but a lot of other problems also? I read today that containers and container management wouldn't need to be half as complex as they are today if plan9 had taken off the same way linux did. Would be a big, big effort but if a major player got behind it like AWS then maybe not impossible. Redox looks like an interesting attempt at creating something like this.
