This is just so cool and inspiring to me. I check out pretty much everything Andreas puts out. I wonder if we're watching something comparable to the birth of Linux. I'm not insinuating that Linux would go away or die or anything -- that's absurd -- but I just mean perhaps over time SerenityOS will become more and more used as a "real" OS. For what purpose(s)? No idea. But the whole project really seems to have stayi…

I kinda wonder if "streamer who develops code" could be a viable open source business model, haha.

Some of the comments demonstrate that there are a lot of people here who have never encountered programming in an artistic context before. That is a sad (though understandable) state of affairs.

Even though I agree with you, there are no such comments that I can find, or not enough to warrant your knee jerk reaction. No need to build a straw man.

> The original Jakt prototype was written in Rust by myself and JT over a couple of weeks before we made it public. I wrote a post introducing Jakt and the motivations behind it. And JT made a video about the creation of Jakt as well. The Rust-based compiler is now long-gone, and Jakt is fully self-hosted with the Jakt compiler being written in Jakt itself.

It's always humbling for me to read updates from SerenityOS :)

I think there is more behind SerenityOS that elevates it above being just another OS project. They've attracted hundreds of contributors and have instilled a unique sense of culture within their community (as an example, going as far to devote an entire GitHub repository to documenting a list of "yak-shaving" yak emojis[1]).

I think that kind of social endeavor isn't something a lot of maintainers can accomplish, not even those with the skills to work on such a project all by themselves.

Sponsorship via Github is the primary stream AFAIK
