Is this really a PoC?

This project looks to good to be a PoC. Is this really a PoC ? 🤔

Hey, glad you like it!
It started as a proof of concept, but I guess it's becoming more and more usable now :)

We only started this project about a week ago though, so it's still too early to tell if the kernel going to reach a point where it's actually usable.

We're doing all of our planning and communication on Discord,
if you're interested we'd be happy to see you there: https://discord.gg/nmESdX8

Feel free to ask follow-up questions here if you don't have Discord :)

@SplittyDev thanks for the great response.

I'm a total noob on OS development :D

@sdogruyol hey, thank you so much for featuring our project on Crystal Weekly! ❤️

@SplittyDev you're welcome 😄 Keep up the great work 👍 I'm really curious to where this goes

Is this following another implementation or are you building toward a specification? This is so awesome. Wish I understood more about OS development terms and how all these seemingly magic values and registers come together to form a cohesive system.

Kudos to you for getting this far. I too am thoroughly enjoying reading through what you have got so far even if I don't understand it all.

@Virtual-Machine Hey, nice to see another person interested in the project :)
We're building a unix-like, monolithic, modular kernel. We'll try to make parts of the kernel POSIX-compatible, although that's not our main focus at the moment.

Although we're not really building towards a specification, this isn't an implementation either. We're building our own system with our own rules, but POSIX compliance is always a good thing because that makes porting Linux programs to Nuummite way easier.

We'd be happy to see you on our IRC or on our Discord server!
