 # Gila v0.3.1 - a Rust Microkernel
 
-Gila is a Rust microkernel OS, inspired by the Xinu embedded OS, as well as Linux. I aim to implement multitasking and different users for processes, and eventually a filesystem. I do not aim to make it POSIX-compatible, but it will likely end up sharing many features with POSIX operating systems.
+Gila is a Rust microkernel OS, inspired by microkernel projects such as seL4 and Redox. I aim to implement multitasking, userspace drivers, IPC, and sandboxing. I do not aim to make it POSIX-compatible, but it will likely end up sharing many features with POSIX operating systems. Its design philosophy is focused around simplicity, isolation, modularity, and minimal privilege.
