My first reaction was: how can that possibly work? I read the entire "why c#" page in the hopes of getting an answer, but it just kept going on about other stuff. Finally, at the end, under "Disadvantages of c#": requires a custom compiler. Which indeed eliminates my objection!
- EdNutting 11y agoInteresting to read your comment - I'll update the article to make the information more readily available. Cheers, Ed
- marvy 11y agoJust add a link to the "how c#" somewhere; I didn't notice that page existed. It's exactly what I wanted! edit: oh, you did already. never mind!
- marvy 11y agoIn case you're still checking these comments: do you think FlingOS is a good fit for someone who is comfortable with C, or would they be better off with something like xv6?
- EdNutting 11y agoOur articles and videos are largely language independent so still contain a lot of very valuable information for any OS developer, irrespective of language. I would say our codebase is useful for seeing how to make the various drivers work but that someone comfortable in C ought to develop in C and simply refer to our code when/if they get stuck.
- marvy 11y agoCool, thanks!!
- EdNutting 11y agoWe'll add more detail in future but here's a brief article covering the key points: http://flingos.co.uk/docs/reference/How-CSharp/ http://flingos.co.uk/docs/reference/How-CSharp/ I've also added a sentence to the Introduction section of the Why C# article linking to this How C# article.
