    Even Terry Davis wasn't that bold.

      Given that Terry described the manic episodes as "a revelation from God" I think theopneustos is an accurate description. It just means "God Breathed" or "Inspired by God"

        Oh, yeah that does make sense now that I think about it.

People joke about templeos a lot, but it had some really neat ideas (holy-c is a pretty nice language)

  It should have been HolyBasic. Mistyping a HolyC indirection in an editor causes the OS to crash.

    We would still have an issue with bad POKEs though.

      It didn't cause a problem in my Commodore 64. ROM4L

  I've dug around the TempleOS codebase a bit, and while it certainly is impressive for a single guy's work, I think there's been an overcorrection where people act like Terry was some hyper genius instead of "a pretty smart guy". I kind of got the impression that whenever Terry didn't know how to do something, he would just convince himself that that's not what God wanted anyway and stop doing it.

    I like that mindset. "This bug is not meant to be solved."

    Most of the people we think of geniuses are not smarter than the average smart person, but they persevered more. Terry had the ultimate driver of perseverance: severe mental illness.

I came here to mention how it reminded me of the sick 3D icons TempleOS had in its terminal

  The announcement blog post (https://blog.orhun.dev/introducing-ratty/ https://blog.orhun.dev/introducing-ratty/), which would've been a better submission URL, unsurprisingly says that TempleOS was the direct inspiration of the project.
