Applications will each have their own namespace, and will only have access to user files if given the right to, on a per directory/file basis

Apps don’t get full access to memory or hardware. The kernel only maps what they’re allowed to see. Drivers live in user space, and apps talk to them through capabilities (handles you can pass around). There’s no ambient authority, you only

Thanks! Skift is basically a patchwork of all the OS ideas I like. The UI takes inspiration from SwiftUI/Flutter, the microkernel is influenced by Zircon, and there are some Plan 9 ideas where everything is a URL. A few bits are probab

It’s a microkernel-based operating system. Mostly just a learning/fun side project for me. It implements something akin to the NixOS /store. Hardware, networking, sound, and the file system are all very barebones. Most of the work

This works for everything except the browser. For that, use: ```bash ./skift.sh run --release vaev-browser -- <url-or-file> ``` The HTTP stack is super barebones, so it only supports `http://` (no HTTPS). It works with

Didn’t expect to see my project on the main page today ‘^^ Right now the build is broken, so you can’t test the full OS, but you can run individual apps with: ```bash ./skift.sh run --release <app-name> ``` on Linux or macOS. T

Having something like WPT [1] for C++ would be really nice. [1] https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt

Theses macros are defined in our framework, the coroutine code is not that hot so we didn't measure the overhead https://github.com/skift-org/karm

We are building a document rendering tool using them. It’s a pretty large project, and there have been some really good improvements in Clang’s implementation of C++20 modules in the past few versions. https://github.com/odo

If you get a 10x speedup with an LLM it mean you are not doing anything new or interesting

It's just a placeholder implementation, we will have a proper GC when we get to it

I intend to keep Skift and Vaev together for as long as possible since everything is meant to be cross-platform. I don’t see any architectural conflict that would motivate such a change.

The main goal is great support for static documents rendering as it's being used at the core of the paper-muncher [1] PDF rendering engine, meant to replace wkhtmltopdf at odoo. But we don't exclude general web browsing and JavaSc

It seems you have more information about this situation than I do, as I recently took on the role of project maintainer and wasn't involved from the start. I find the bug you mentioned interesting, and I'll promptly investigate to

As the maintainer of wkhtmltopdf @ Odoo I can tell you it's not WebKit. Instead it's outdated WebKit from 2014 running on top of QT4 '^^
