>hello world kernel

copied and pasted straight from osdev right?

now write a real kernel, replace loonux so we can finally have something guaranteed to be unpozzed for life.

I need to start learning Zig, to replace all the fucking C in the world

You need to start learning C to replace all the cancerous languages like Zig in the world.

Why do these hipster langs refuse to write the 5 or 10 lines of code required to support tab indents and \r\n endings? At least it produces reasonably-sized executables (16 kB Hello World with --release-fast, add 0.5 MB for the default "with safety" version). Probably will end up like Nim (completely irrelevant).

it's passive aggression

"I hate it when people mix tabs and spaces, but I don't want to have to tell someone to do things my way"

Your editor should be smart enough to turn tabs into spaces. You should always use spaces to indent your code, since it will look the same on all systems.

>>993270

I'm more of the opinion that space indenting adds nothing of value; just the ability to align columns. For that, you have to accept:

* an appreciable amount of code and complexity added to your editor,

* the loss of comfort while making quick vi edits, and

* allowing people with terrible taste in indentation widths to force their insane orthodoxy on you.

Once I get off my ass and put real work into my design, I'd most likely never release it. I'm only interesting in keeping myself "unpozzed" for life, and simply have no interest in writing drivers for shit I don't and won't ever have. Nodevs are on their own, make your own shit.
