- steveklabnik 13y ago> (The project is literally only half an hour old.) That's one of the funny things about starting your own operating system; it's not some sort of herculean task. Especially once you've done it once or twice. While you're right that this isn't particularly feature-rich at this point, it does get the annoying bits out of the way. It's a starting point that anyone doing this task would have to do, and do in the same way. It's also a proof of concept that this kind of thing does actually work; see the other thread on zero.rs where people were speculating if this is possible. Now we know.
