There's certainly some, but I don't think most. I'd guess most apps are bytecode only, which will run on any platform. Some apps with native code have bytecode fallbacks. Many apps with native code include multiple support fo

Why would I buy a new version of Windows, if none of my existing software will work on it, so I have to buy new versions of everything? Sounds expensive.

Thanks! There's some really interesting things here. I chose to interface with some basic hardware only from my kernel, but hydros uses Erlang to interface with the IO-APIC and a bunch of other stuff. They've even got NIFs to do s

I don't know why being vector based would disqualify this from being a video game? https://www.arcade-museum.com/Videogame/star-wars It's from 1983, which disqualifies it from being early, of course.

My kernel is in C. BEAM is in userspace. Most of the drivers are in userspace too. Turns out, if you let userspace mmap whatever address it wants to, and have access to all the i/o ports, plus have a way to hook interrupts, you can wri
