On his blog, Luc Lenotre introducesMaestro, "a Unix-like kernel and operating system written fromscratch in Rust". Maestro is intended to be"lightweight and compatible-enough with Linux to be usable in everydaylife". The project began, in C, back in 2018, but switched over toRust after a year-and-a-half. The current status:
Maestro is a monolithic kernel, supporting only the x86 (in 32 bits)architecture for now.

At the time of writing, 135 out of 437 Linux system calls(roughly 31%) are more or less implemented. The project has 48800 lines of codeacross 615 files (all repositories combined, counted using the cloc command).

There is a HackerNews discussion of the project as well.
