## Overview
Asterinas is a _safe_, _fast_, and _general-purpose_ OS kernel that provides _Linux-compatible_ ABI. It can serve as a seamless replacement for Linux while enhancing _memory safety_ and _developer friendliness_.
Asterinas is a _safe_, _fast_, and _general-purpose_ OS kernel
that provides _Linux-compatible_ ABI.
It can serve as a seamless replacement for Linux
while enhancing _memory safety_ and _developer friendliness_.
* Asterinas prioritizes memory safety by employing Rust as its sole programming language and limiting the use of _unsafe Rust_ to a clearly defined and minimal Trusted Computing Base (TCB). This innovative approach, known as [the framekernel architecture](), establishes Asterinas as a more secure and dependable kernel option.

* Asterinas surpasses Linux in terms of developer friendliness. It empowers kernel developers to (1) utilize the more productive Rust programming language, (2) leverage a purpose-built toolkit called [OSDK]() to streamline their workflows, and (3) choose between releasing their kernel modules as open source or keeping them proprietary, thanks to the flexibility offered by [MPL]().

While the journey towards a production-grade OS kernel can be challenging, we are steadfastly progressing towards our goal. Currently, Asterinas only supports x86-64 VMs. However, [our aim for 2024]() is to make Asterinas production-ready on x86-64 for both bare-metal and VM environments.
