Gregory's Server@a13cui A lot of the UI cues that I use I've taken from Plan 9, have you ever had a chance of using it? It's a gorgeous little ecosystem, it has this thing where each design decision is advised by corner-cutting to draw faster, and I think even if you don't know that these very rigid rules are present in the background, there's a sort of elegance that comes to the surface and you're likely to be susceptible to.

@neauoire I am interested in something like Version 6/7 Unix (and actually have it be a really interesting master's thesis). I'm curious to see if I can make it safe (and prove its execution through SPARK) in Ada. Everyone else rewrites in Rust, I rewrite in Ada and Pascal :)  @neauoire would you believe I didn't make the connection between you and Uxn in general until now when I saw the footer? I feel so dumb. But you definitely got yourself a fan. Your wiki is so... it strikes the right chords within me. Chef's kiss. @a13cui you're better off being a fan of the idea of making your own custom tools, and doing that, than being a fan of uxn ;) I'm glad you like the wiki! I try to add some things to it everyday! Do you have a website where you write about your pascal and ada experiments? |
@neauoire I've experimented with it a bit and I plan to dig into its source code at some point (and even reimplement it in something like Ada or Pascal, C's arch nemeses).
I can offer you something else in exchange: Oberon System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system)
There's a lot of simplicity and beauty in this system (from the programming language also named Oberon which has a 12-page report for *all* of the language to how it handles data communication, windowing, files etc.). See this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30467122 and https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.90.7173&rep=rep1&type=pdf.
By the way, I have something I don't understand: I know Uxn is the assembly... what's Varvara specifically? Is it the "operating system" that you use to run "left" and "adelie"?
