What's the point writing another kernel in C ???


Considering that we are talking about experimental toys which have lower odds of seeing production than of you winning a national lottery jackpot, the point of writing it in C would be the same as the point of writing it in anything else - IOW, the kernel is the objective, not the language used to write it.

If you read yourself you'll realize your answer i highly toxic, quiet honestly completely irrelevant, discouraging other people from doing what they like. I would get rid of people with your attitude, you are the kind of problem I don't want to have to deal with and more than that, I don't want to have juniors have to deal with you. Please realize that you had your chance and you played it. Nobody ow you an explanation if you can't even get basics up.


What in the sweet chili dipping sauce did I walk into?

drnick1 says why "Zig" not C? [I took the quotation marks as dismissive of Zig, but I could be misreading that]

6r17 says why do it in C?

lelanthran says the language is mostly irrelevant, it's a fun experiment.

6r17 blows off the handle and starts calling people toxic and being really unpleasant.

Nothing in this comment chain seems to justify even 1/10th of the vitriol espoused.


"Considering that we are talking about experimental toys which have lower odds of seeing production than of you winning a national lottery jackpot"


If you think that quote above is at all proportionate or justifies your toxicity, we have nothing else to discuss.


Yeah, but even if I'm doing something for fun I do want to be a bit unique with it. Anyone who's interested enough in osdev to build something for baremetal has at least attempted a unix-like kernel in C
