Hello all,
Is there any research into new Operating Systems and kernel
development? I'd like to announce 'heh' that I'm starting on just
such a project :)
I have a few ideas about what i want to build but that's getting far
ahead of myself, I think I should build it to run on Qemu or Xen
hypervisor. The most dreaded thing i want to avoid is C or C++. The
source code shall go on to https://codeberg.org/nly. And always
appreciate feedback, in the end I hope to make something that is
usable and used rather than purely for amusement purposes :)
Thank you for reading so far,
~amar

Hi Amar,
Did you study Hurd and other micro-kernel approaches? Some people
working on that here (though not me).
Pj.

Hi amar,
this is unrelated to GNU or Guix, but if you want to avoid C/C++ it may
be worth taking a look at https://www.redox-os.org, which is written in
Rust — of course there's also the GNU Hurd (and I'm sure many other
projects), but this is the only one I'm aware of that has "avoid using
C/C++" as one of its stated goals (apart from some more specific things
like MirageOS, which uses OCaml a lot).

If you're interested in playing with some code/idea, even just for
your own amusement, don't let others' opinion stop you from doing
that. Success of any new work or idea are very slim, so if you try to
optimize for that, you might not get anything done at all.
Just my 2. bits.
Best regards,
