Thank you for taking the time to go through my port.

No. I simply want to contribute to OpenBSD, and one of the ways that I am trying to contribute
is by writing ports for software that I use on a regular basis, for which ports are not available.
I don't even know if the port is going to get accepted or not.
However, that's not my main concern at the moment.
I am learning about OpenBSD and I am having fun.
If this is the
case, and what you want is an imitation of UNIX written in Rust, you
could use Redox OS [1], I think you will be happier with it than with
OpenBSD.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It looks interesting.
