It is supposed to
I'd be more interested in implementing something new (and useful) using OP
features. Something like what A2 (formerly Bluebottle) OS do using Active
Oberon:
- Kernel level garbage collector
- It's FAST (a good prove that object orientation and garbage collection
don't have to result in a slow syst
I think others to this list may have seen my prior post on how this
'challenge' of writing a OS kernel in Object Pascal could be met using the
Unix/Linux history as a guide.
It probably wouldn't be worth the additional effort needed to write the
entire kernel in Object Pascal in much the same way
I'd say if whoever has enough drive to try something like this, simply
start by implementing the kernel. Something relatively simple so that
your PC can boot using a Object Pascal written kernel. No matter if
there is no user interaction, shell or user level programs. Just show
that you CAN write

Exactly. Other that a "cool" or "wow" factor. :-)

Thanks for pointing this out, I didn't know that one yet.

Some proof of the concept: ClassiOS
(http://www.petros-project.com/index.php/products/classios.html) was
written in Delphi. Not an open source project, but it shows it can be
done.
