hypervisor-rs [] (https://crates.io/crates/hypervisor) [] (https://github.com/saurvs/hypervisor-rs/blob/master/LICENSE.md)

hypervisor is a Rust library that taps into functionality that enables hardware-accelerated execution of virtual machines on OS X.

It binds to the Hypervisor framework on OS X, and exposes a safe Rust interface through the hypervisor module, and an unsafe foreign function interface through the hypervisor::ffi module.
