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?

A sufferer of schizophrenia is not guilty of the way their condition manifests. They are the victim of an illness.

You can't just blame it all on the sickness. He's apparently an extreme racist, crazy or not. The way you put it sounds like he doesn't even exist and is all just the sickness.

I suggest the book angelhead to give you some perspective on this. If you come to understand this condition you will regret this comment.

Isn't that exactly what God would want? I just wonder how long it'll take for some heretical sect to start a fork and add blasphemous features like networking or 32-bit colors... ;-)

That is just awesome, thanks!

Well, it seems like 640x480 is a sacred limit for display resolution so I wouldn't get my hopes up, from the F.A.Q: God said 640x480 was a covenant like circumcision. The resolution will remain 640x480 for centuries to come.

Holy cow ... The OS is such a strange mix of impressive feats and crazy conventions.

Your description applies to ALL OS, all of them.

I've been around the block for a couple decades and retro-compute as a hobby... I'm not just making this up.

You make it sound like he's braindead and has no own will. He posts racial slurs even in his most sane comments.

This isn't Terry, is it?

It's not. It's impressive Terry's platform has attained a following.

The subculture of OS makers is far smaller than the subculture of esoteric programming language enthusiasts. Its inevitable if templeos works the esolang people will descend upon it. There's probably a hundred, maybe a thousand Intercal programmers for every templeos enthusiast and they all love a new challenge.

Personally I've been thinking of doing make-a-lisp in templeos. There's no point in doing make-a-lisp in qbasic or gnu awk or makefiles because its already been done. But make-a-lisp on templeos is, I believe, completely uncharted ground ... so in my infinite spare time ...

Your comments have all the empathy of someone who has zero understanding of schizophrenia.

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

I didn't think of this pun.
