> writing a full OS in Java IMAO, Android kind of achieve that...kind of. They write lots of OS logics in Java (or Kotlin) but mixing lots of system services written in native code at the same time, interconnected by the famous (or infamous?) Bind IPC.
Embedded JVM is actually huge/pervasive and runs things as benign as the chip on your credit card.
Missed opportunity to call it Just

That is pretty awesome! When I joined the Java effort in '92 (called Oak at the time) the group I was with was looking at writing a full OS in Java. The idea being that you could get to just the minimal set of things needed as "machine code" (aka native methods) you could reduce the attack surface of an embedded OS. (originally Java was targeted to run in things like TV's and other appliances). We were, of course, wo…

After reading your comment I was surprised to find out that credit card chips have any processing capabilities whatsoever, which they apparently do, though at least according to gpt4, they are far too basic to run java/jvm. ?
In what world did you convince yourself asking a chatbot was a source of real knowledge? respect yourself enough to look at primary sources

Google appears to be significantly more useful than GPT-4 here. [1] is the third result for me for the query "credit card jvm". [2] is the second result and gives a direct (and more importantly, actually correct) answer. That post links to the Oracle documentation for Java Cards [3] which is the fourth result.

When I see such cool projects, I feel very overwhelmed. How do you get started with Rust and master basics to even attempt doing such a thing? Can OP explain?
Likewise. Not to go onto too much of tangent, but on a more personal note I've been generally struggling with this feeling a lot lately. I've been a professional software developer for almost 10 years, and I _know_ I'm competent (and not an impostor) as demonstrated by my current position and ability to ship things. However, lately after viewing developer blogs I become overwhelmed that I actually don't know enough a…
In short: recognizing your insecurities is the first step. The next step is figuring out what's important to you, shedding impossible to achieve and irrational ambitions, prioritizing your goals in life, and articulating concrete steps to further them.

Right, just because something is a "toy" doesn't mean it's not still impressive. If someone implemented a "toy" database that could parse and execute SQL queries, distribute data across nodes, etc., you would probably not want to use that in production, but it's still a very impressive project for a single person to pull off, even if it's riddled with bugs. Getting a very complex system to "just barely functional" is…
Being impressing or otherwise is very subjective. SQL (ACID) over multiple non-cache-coherent nodes is extremely difficult to pull with regards to consistency, though.
