Hello,
Well, porting Rust to GNU/Hurd definitely can be useful, so your project
is more than welcome in that regard.
I however have to say you probably underestimate the amount of work
needed to write a driver. The language can help in some way, but not
very much. The main part of difficulty is to manage to understand how
the device really works, and devise something that works with it. We
don't really want to spend time on this, and rather use a maintained
layer like DDE.
