Look here's the deal with him. The man is unwell. What do you have to gain from digging down rabbit holes like this? In regards to Terry I have taken a "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything" policy. Every once in a while, if you like his work send him a note telling him so. Don't endeavor to increase his suffering. The same fate may await any of us.

I'm with you cmdrfred. I don't understand why anyone would do these things. Terry wrote an entire OS+Bootloader, dozens of remarkable apps for it, the toolchain for the custom programming language it's written in (which he also created) by himself . The scale of that achievement boggles my mind. There's no -lreadline anywhere there.. No curses.. No gcc. No copy/pasting phkmalloc and so on. Absolutely nothing that he…

You make it sound like Terry is completely innocent. Have you seen his comments?

I was kind of interested in writing something for the temple (well, okay, I spent a bored afternoon contemplating giving it a go and half heartedly booting vms and reading code ....) While I can't answer for the OP, my motivation was specifically that this is kind of an alien environment and the challenge involved in even getting to hello world would definately have seen me walk away at the end the better for the exp…

> half heartedly booting vms I initially read that as VMS rather than VMs. Very confusing. I don't think too many people half-heartedly boot VMS. Reactions tend to be one extreme or the other.

Wouldn't a half-hearted boot of VMS be Windows?

He's a disorganized schizophrenic who exhibits chronic word salad, what else did you expect from a mentally ill person? Sanity? Give me a fucking break, man.

I find TemploOS a pretty normal name, but HolyC is an amazing name for a language. I always laugh when I see it.

I agree. TempleOS sounds like something some marketing department might churn out, but HolyC is a hilarious name. I love it!

You've got me curious. Who's Terry? And where can I see one of his videos?

Terry A. Davis, creator of Temple OS. Here's his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdX4uJUwSFwiY3XBvu-F_-Q/vid...

Clicked a recent video and he rants about random numbers, the lottery and the "whitest of the white scientists of the National Institute of Standards" with a few colorful "monkey niggers" thrown in. ..... uh Okay? Is that guy crazy? In the comments people say he has a 90 day youtube ban.
