TempleOS is ring-0-only. No system call overhead.

I worked on the code that installed language modules into kernel space. I wrote a check-disk utility. I did a file compression archive. There were serial port drivers and I made a command to reset a stuck port. I worked in VAX assembly l

I am a professional operating system developer. In 1990, I was hired to work on Ticketmaster's VAX operating system.

When I was a young programmer, all the code I looked at was awful. If there was a different format indentation, that distracted me. All I could think about was code format and superficials. I worked at Ticketamster 1990-1996. I went back

At Ticketmaster, I learned the first thing you write when you start on bare metal is a debugger. I worked on VAX, 68000 and 8051 bare metal. The difference between an amateur operating system project and a professional one is writing a com

You might wonder why TempleOS is barely doing 640x480 at 30fps. The GPU is 2000 times faster than the CPU.

When I was an intern, more or less, God how awful I was, LOL. I would curse my worst enemy with as many amateur helpers as I could find. I am in charge of the 100,000 lines of code, myself. It is managable by one person.

Maybe so. I believe in evolution. I believe that IQ is inherited.

All my code is position independent and my compiler only makes position idependent code. My OS is ring-zero-only. Just in time compilers do not need a linker in a single address space -- they just insert the address of the function call.

Linear algebra is not the main thing C64s were used for. It not worth putting lots of LinPac code modified for SSE MMX

Linux is designed like a 1970's mainframe. TempleOS is designed like a C64. I don't see cron as useful for a C64 user.

Every genius makes it more complicated. It takes a super-genius to make is simpler.

I wrote all the code from scratch, including a 20,000 line of code compiler that makes x86_64 machine code from HolyC or Asm and operates AOT and JIT. My JIT mode is not interpreted. It optimizes and compiles to x86_64 machine code. I was

TempleOS is ring-0-only and has no networking. It is forever limited to 100,000 lines. The vision is a C64 ROM. DOS and C64 had no protection and no problems. There are no buffer overflow check in templeos. It will allow massive buffers un

My compiler compiles 100,000 lines of code a second. 50,000 lines are compiled during boot (half a second). 50,000 lines are compiled during MakeAll (half a second). If you echo to screen, compiles slowly.

I made an x86_64 operating system with a compiler. The compiler compiles a dialect of C/C++. It operates both JIT and AOT.

It is multiprocessing, but not fair sharing. I like to call it single-process multiple thread. There is no difference between "task", "Process" or "thread". It is single address map. Paging in not used, bas

It would be a lot of work, but it's possible. I made it wed to x86_64.
