I write mobile apps for living (mostly Java/Kotlin, a little bit of Flutter/RN) so yeah agree assembly is practically useless for professional work. But for tinkering (e.g writing GBA/NES games), hell why not? It's fun.

Which is a deal breaker for macOS users... unless they are still on Mojave.

The magazine I meant is Mikrodata. It's an Indonesian IT magazine, which was was closed few years ago. Until 2000-ish, the magazines came with CDs which has code archives from practically all Mikrodata contributors. I started learning

I have some CDs from a computer magazine (in the 2000s) which provided you code archives even back to 90s (including good old QB stuffs). FBC easily compile lots of them. Well, too bad still no macOS support.

I used LaTeX for writing my undergraduate thesis (> 1 decade ago). Nowadays, unless I write anything involving complicated math expressions or something fancy like Karnaugh map, chessboard diagram etc etc, most likely LaTeX is overkill.

I still carry camera everywhere. Since I'm into abstract shapes (not documentary/storytelling etc etc), I don't really care about "cultivating memories". As long as you are willing to "see", usually there

Or Turbo Pascal...

Or FreeBASIC (it has QB compatibility mode). Works fine on Windows/Linux/DOS. No macOS port, unfortunately.

Perhaps it's safe to say HLA is practically abandoned. I bought the book many years ago, and yes I think it's better suited for compiler devs (HLA compiler still need assemblers like MASM, FASM etc to build the executables), and n

Perhaps think of them as solving logical puzzles. It's fun. Even though not always related to everyday tasks. For me, it began many years ago when reading about Hilbert's hotel paradox. Turns out our laymen's understanding ab

I'm still learning assembly for fun. Many years ago: x86 for reverse engineering. Nowadays: bootable games ( https://github.com/nanochess is an excellent treasure trove) and classic game consoles (GBA, SNES) etc.

Rust standard library is minimalist (at least compared to Java/.NET), so no SHA-266. If you want a more useful standard library, perhaps consider Go.

"We are not a Linux/BSD clone, or POSIX-compliant..." and "It should be able to run most Linux/BSD programs with minimal modifications" Hmm weird. Will give it a try, anyway.

My mistake. Guess what I meant is UNIX and UNIX-like. Nothing personal against Linux, but I'd like to see something new, like TempleOS, for example.

Recommendation for non-DOS/Unix open source OS outside x86/X64

Ooo nice. Thanks.

Fair enough. I know some open source hobbyist OSes which are non-DOS/Unix variants... sadly they are X86 only, like Visopsys or Kolibri. For something non-X86, try digging at: http://wiki.osdev.org/Projects Perhaps you

I wonder if there's a similar CLI tool? Nothing against GUI-based tool, but easily usable on terminal is plus point.
111.
by anta40 2y ago
Perhaps this one: https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-riscv ? The old xv6 is x86-based and it's not officialy maintained anymore. Or Xinu: https://xinu.cs.purdue.edu . There's a BeagleBone (ARM) port.

Real world OS is without no doubt complicated. But for beginner, I think xv6 is sufficient: https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public A rather small codebase, pretty well documented, easily buildable without building your

Ahh sorry. My mistake. I thought those were Linux executables (ELF). Turns out those are Bash scripts.

Look interesting, but seems like it's Linux only. And closed source.

Just installed this. Very amusing. I think on a glance it looks more realistic than those so-called "hacker terminal/screen/whatever" :D

If you want to do microcontroller/embedded, I think C it still the overall best choice, supported by vendors. Rust and Ada are probably slowly catching up.

Don't forget Pascal is still alive.

Long compile time isn't a new issue for language with advanced features. Before Rust, it was Haskell. And before Haskell, it was C++. And implementation wise, probably there's something to do with LLVM.
