No. I simply want to contribute to OpenBSD, and one of the ways that I am trying to contribute is by writing ports for software that I use on a regular basis, for which ports are not available. I don't even know if the port is going to get accepted or not. However, that's not my main concern at the moment. I am learning about OpenBSD and I am having fun. > If this is the > case, and what you want is an imitation of UNIX written in Rust, you > could use Redox OS [1], I think you will be happier with it than with > OpenBSD. > > [1]: https://redox-os.org Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
