I just want a terminal that can also run fully graphical interfaces and that scroll as more lines are typed or a later command outputs text! Next level up from sixels or escape sequences.

Poul, have you looked at the Mill Architecture? It doesn't provide capabilities but provides "turfs". A turf is a set of [base..limit) regions in a single address space. Threads within a turf can only see what the turf allows

May be you need to have "scheduled downtime" when your undergirding system is down for "maintenance" and they will notice! [Half joking... Probably not possible but better to have scheduled maintenance than have to do fi

The default serial build of V (tcc backend) takes 0.6 (with production compiler) to 1.3 seconds (with tcc backend compiler). The production (clang backend) parallel build of V language takes about 3.2 seconds. All on an m1 mac. Even the g

I have used both Go (extensively) and V (not so much). Go's cross compilation, concurrency support, GC & stability are much better than V's. V compiles much much faster in spite of generating C (unless you use clang), plays be

AFAIK this is far more common in muslims but not in hindus, jains etc. While growing up I had heard/read that as per the Vedas you can not marry someone with whom you have a common ancestor within 7 generations. [My scientifically mind

Pascal had range types such as 0..9 (as of 1970). Subranges could also be defined for any scalar type. Further, array index types were such ranges.

I've read them both and Naipaul is the much better writer. Perhaps that always rankled. Anyway they "buried the hatchet" in 2011. https://bookertalk.com/poison-pens-when-writers-friendships-...

I used the rand editor in early 80s & loved its “infinite” quarter plane model. Dave Yost enhanced it quite a bit and called it the Grand editor. But it was hard to maintain as it relied on K&R C. Eventually I gave up and went back

Thanks. I got interested in this topic as people are talking about writing OS kernel code in Rust but a) it only helps new code and b) very hard to justify rewriting millions of lines of C code in Rust (plus rewrites are never 100% faithful

> The solution for C I proposed is backwards compatible, and does not make existing code slower. Where can I read about it? The only way to make ptrs to array elements also safe that I can think of, is to replace them with triples: (base

Did anybody mention plan9? At any rate it is not a microkernel. There is at least one effort implementing v6 unix in rust. That would probably meet your minimum requirements!
