GreenteaOS – from-scratch operating system reaches alpha Windows .exe support

• PeyTy 1y ago
  Greentea OS is built from scratch in a custom programming language Hexa with custom kernel design (called Tofita Engine) Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh-icbJuQgg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vh-icbJuQgg

    This is amazing. Is the author of the OS also the author of the language? The language looks pretty high-level; why was it chosen for the OS implementation? What architecture does the kernel have (monolythic, micro, etc.)?
    • PeyTy 1y ago
      Yes having custom language allows us to fine-tune it for the needs of the OS. It was intended for games and game engines, but later I extended it to the osdev too. The design of Hexa implies balance of high-level feel and moderate safety by default without compromise on performance. You may always go lower or higher level when needed. Kernel is a game-engine inspired experimental design. For simplicity, you may assume its a monolith (with some internal sandboxing, but that's not yet fully implemented). I will cover Tofita design in the future as it evolves.

  An operating system with great potential. I really hope that the development will not drag on for decades.

  The code is mostly in the https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Tofita https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Tofita and https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Caramel https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Caramel People check the https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Greentea https://github.com/GreenteaOS/Greentea which currently mostly contains binary assets. This repo will have user-space apps. Currently sample apps are taken from ReactOS project.
