The operating system: should there be one?
- simonblack 6y agoThe operating system "library of system functions" does not belong in an app, unless you want to have a single app running on a dedicated machine. In any machine capable of running more than one app, an operating system is necessary, even if just for cold-booting, console i/o, and some form of file system. (As in the 8-bit OSs of the 70s and 80s.)
