An x86 32bit kernel for learning purposes, currently with the very basics implemented (GRUB multiboot & VGA)
This was supposed to just be a simple, follow-the-footsteps kind of project, but where's the fun in that? It's now become a testing ground for building toolchains to compile random languages down to native code. Here is the VGA driver for example:
steady topaz
is this python

Yup. I'm trying to see how silly I can get by using the most languages I can
For now I've got toolchains going for Python, JavaScript, and Lua. Java is in the works, I'm doing my own transpiler but it's semi broken for now

this is so cursed

The Python toolchain is using https://github.com/exaloop/codon to do the heavy lifting, compiling python-like syntax and modules down to LLVM IR, where it gets optimised & preprocessed down to GAS-like x86 assembly
Lua is simply using https://nelua.io/, JavaScript (and TypeScript) are compiled to WASM, into an aot compiler which i forgot the name of, and Java is rewritten to LLVM IR via ObjectWeb's ASM bytecode parsing library

That sounds hillarious but im not sure if that's ever going to be possible
gnu octave is just matlab iirc so if you can port that to your kernel and somehow get that working it should be good 👍
actually they're not identical nvm
very close tho and open source

I'm seeing https://github.com/nelson-lang/nelson mentionned a lot

oh yeah wait does your kernel support in kernel floating point arithmetic
that would be hella funny

Probably not yet, I'm trying to see if it's an interpreter/JIT or an AOT compiler, it may be usable
Here I was thinking that .NET would be the most cursed language we could get running
😭

you just need to save and restore the FPU state
it's not a massive deal but it is not fast

😭 there are a few projects trying to use C# to write an os
But they're meh
