I asked out of interest and explained my point of view, imposing neither standards nor priorities. Why are you reacting so hostile to a question? Isn't it rather your intention to enforce your "standard" for questions and opi

Unfortunately, your comment neither answers my question nor is it helpful in relation to the other arguments.

Most other mentioned are also just hobby kernels; actually also Linux and BSD started that way.

Same as e.g. xv6.

What's the difference to e.g. xv6? There are already so many Unix like operating systems of all sizes written in C (e.g. Minix, xv6, BSD, Darwin, Hurd, Lemon, MentOS, SanOS). If I were to go to such an effort, I would try another langu

Science is not political and has never been. Unfortunately, however, scientists today all too often allow themselves to be used by the powerful for their (unscientific) purposes, or they allow themselves to be tempted by improper advantages

Well, then I recommend that you invest a few more years in university level studies to understand the subject matter, and then again try to provide an efficient solution to the protein folding problem using MD. Good luck.

What is the target use case of the library? Aren't chord, note and interval objects redundant (i.e. a chord is a set of notes of a specific distance, where the latter is an interval)? The chords themselves are just a subset of scales,

Sounds interesting. Since there is already Alphafold, I would assume that your solution concentrates on Alphafold's main weakness: the restriction on cristal structures and steady state, i.e. a single structure snapshot in an unrealist

These diagrams indeed look good. But actually I never use those for parser construction, but consider EBNF more useful, especially also when analyzing and correcting a grammar. I was surprised that there was no decent editor to develop gram

That's well possible. I asked DeepSeek how I should send them feedback, and the response was: " If you’d like your feedback to be formally acknowledged or escalated (e.g., to highlight nuances about your work or correct details),

C-- is no longer actively developed or widely used. The last significant update to the C-- project was in 2004. LLVM was one of the reasons why it declined. If you're looking for an alternative to LLVM, have a look at e.g. ECMA 335 CIL

> that good compilation speed was not a design goal Not sure how this relates to my statement. I was talking about an optimizer, not about compilation speed. I'm neither using QBE, but Eigen, for good reasons.

Well, if the consumer market thinks that 64 bit architectures are a core benefit (for whatever irrational reason) and are willing to pay for it, industry will/does deliver. It's still overkill for all but a few applications. But I

The title statement "works toward a simplified desktop" makes the authors' focus pretty clear, so it's just fair to look for screenshots. It would be disappointing if it was just the same as GNOME.

Well, for all applications which don't require to addres more than 4 GB memory, a 64 bit machine is overkill. This especially applies to embedded systems (which make up the majority of all systems). This is unlikely to change for the n

When refering to Pascal, I mean something like Turbo, Vax or Apple Pascal, i.e. the version used at the height of popularity. Original Pascal has much less degrees of freedom. And I have no reason to assume that Turbo or Apple Pascal have l
