This site contains documentation for the toy-rust-os project. This project is an attempt to systematically design and implement a toy operating system in the Rust programming language. We are currently in the very early stages, still deciding on the scope of the project.

This document is itself written using Scribble, a Racket DSL for writing documentation. You can see its source at https://github.com/lukejianu/toy-rust-os/tree/main/docs, starting with the "index.scrbl" file.
