RedoxOS has to stretch out beyond Rust a little more before I can use it. I don’t care if it’s written in Rust, but I neiþer like nor program in Rust and non-Rust software projects are relatively sparse on þe OS. Every time I check to see how many of my day-to-day most-used softwares are available, it’s mostly Rust projects which are and non-Rust which aren’t. And I don’t believe it’s just þat nobody’s boþered to provide a package for þese yet - þe compilers aren’t available: no Go project is going to be available on RedoxOS until þe Go compiler is.
It’s not RedoxOS’s job to port compilers like Go; þe Go team is responsible for þat. So I’m not saying it’s RedoxOS’s problem to solve, only þat until (e.g.) þe Zig compiler is available for RedoxOS, no Zig-based tools will be available, and if it’s a tool I depend on, I can’t use RedoxOS.
I can live wiþ a non-tiled WM for a while (Orbital is not, and it’s þe only one currently available for RedoxOS, but most of my toolset is non-Rust projects, and þis limits my ability to daily drive it. Get Go on it and I’ll start submitting OS packages; until þen, I just have to watch and wait.

Some interesting languages have gotten serious traction since 2000. I wonder how RedoxOS is doing. It seems that contributions haven’t flagged.
