I love how everyone is digging into the D/Rust/C++ flamewar and not discussing the project at hand.
It appears monolithic. There's actually very little content about what it's design goals are, what it's trying to accomplish, or even what interfaces it'll support. I'm assuming POSIX because everyone loves to re-write UNIX and there is a boat load of documentation/implementations and most of these are monolithic.
- gravypod 10y agoYea, that's disappointing. I'd assume an Object-Oriented language would be better at implementing a microkernel. Objects, in my mind, really represent the idea of a service well so I'd be excited to see what it would look like. Too bad we're never going to get out 128 core SPARC machines with an open-source microkernel like was prophesied in the Linux-MINIX debate.
- Wild 10y agoI would want to create a microkernel, but that would be really hard so I'm targeting a hybridkernel design.
- gravypod 10y agoHave you checked out the GRUB features to load blob file systems for you into memory? It's one of the best ways to implement that kind of feature (for this sort of hardware). Do you sit on some IRC somewhere? I'd be interested in talking to you about how you're approaching this work. Very cool
- Wild 10y agoI've created #PowerNex on FreeNode. I am not the most active IRC user, but I will have my BNC connected 24/7.
- Wild 10y agoActually I'm not targeting a POSIX structure at the moment, I'm more towards implementing a OO api for stuff. Maybe I will target POSIX in the future or make a wrapper around my apis for it.
