An image-based operating system with its own Kubernetes, storage and networking, written almost entirely in Rust.
538,027 total shipped Rust lines — 96.2% of a 54-repository stack, built in 232 days with about 65 hours of human attention. Counted from the repositories themselves, not estimated: mythical-man-month-2026. The story behind it: The Death of the Man-Month.
