Re: Brutal OS reached milestone 4
#12Earlier quoted context omitted.
The idea is to take all the concepts we like about UNIX and iterate on them. It's UNIX as if it was invented now. For example, let's have a C compiler but let's add lambda and a more complete type system. Or let's have a shell, but let's have full ide like autocomplete to it. Or instead of plain text, let's use JSON
Sick. How far along is it? Any chance of bringing in Plan9 type ideas/concepts? Ie being able to mount remote compute resources similar to mounting file systems in UNIX? (As the one real plan9-ism in mind at the moment.)
We are still early in development; it still lacks proper filesystem and networking support

#13It’s not UNIX but it “is” UNIX? That’s kind of all I got out of the about. Glad to see new OS design in 2022!

A language like C but with lambdas isn't really C, not that that's a bad thing.
I was a little surprised that a compiler was in scope given the amount of other work that needed to be written and (hopefully) supported, though I guess that's a different issue.

#14What is that hardware in the cover image? Is it even real?

In most modern browsers you can right click an image and send it to Google to reverse image search it for you.

#16The OS looks quite interesting, but the GUI library caught my attention - hope there are plans to make it available separately.

They said it runs on macOS and linux, so I would assume so

#18That Soviet PC though... Shame we'll never see it.

#19vv cool! I got it to build and run except I couldnt get the mouse to move, but still seems very neat. Hope I can try contributing a bit!
