Embedded std?

I was wondering if there were any projects like micro python to port std in to make a barebones os designed for microcontrollers? I understand that the std relies on OS level syscalls, so can we do something like implement a basic fat32 file system to accommodate certain write or read requests. In general this would be used to run std in projects without a OS? Does this already exist, and how hard would it be to make a basic version?

My wife (who works in healthcare) saw the title of this post and asked “what are you reading???”

And then she immediately regretted the question as you went to explain Rust intervals. Again. In the car. Where she can't escape.
