@trnddc07:
I'm surprised you're not more "into" an all-asm OS - any OS - Linux86,
ReactOS86, something!
Since the days when Windows killed GeoWorks Ensemble - which
was entirely written in Structured Assembly, and which was a
real competitor, and better than Windows, at the time -, the
case is closed and the game over.
And as long as Linux has been a complete failure, at all points
of views, the only remaining little hope is with ReactOS.
Now, if some Asmer may have fun at developping an Assembly OS,
instead of doing anything serious, this is a nother story, but
one thing is 100% sure, is that they will never get any user,
whatever quality they could achieve, aven admitting - i don't -
that this quality would be better than Windows. Even if it was
free, even if it was way better at all points of view, nobody
would ever use it. Well,... GeoWorks was not free, but...
Writing apps in asm is all well and good, but
until the "under the hood" stuff is lean and mean, we *really* aren't
accomplishing much. (heresy, but it's true, IMHO)
MenuetOS, when I looked at it, impressed me by fitting on a floppy (an
"obsolete" criterion, I guess) and having a good start at "basic
functionallity" - a GUI, ...
Yes. Same for me, but it was not the first one at doing so.
I recall of QNX, for example, which was doing that ages ago,
on a single floppy.
a development environment (Fasm), and thea
ability to get online. Actually, it wouldn't support my ethernet card,
but it purported to go online with a number of supported cards. Once we
can go online, we can "flesh out" the OS at leisure. As I recall, it's
little short on apps - perfect OS for folks who think writing apps is
the only "serious" programming! :)
Useful and serious are different things, unfortunately.
By the way, did you saw that "ColibryOS"? What is that?
A dissident branch of MenuetOS?
