Today I was reading some #HolyC sources from #TempleOS.

Terry Davis actually completed his OS, an OS designed to have fun programming.

A similar project (both in complexity and size, but not completely aligned in goal) was #Wirth's #OberonSystem, that is still educational, but more "serious".

Two features that these complete system have in common are their coherence and self-containment.

The more you err toward mainstream, the less coherence and self-containment you find:
TempleOS > 9front > BSDs > Linux

Self-containment enables coherence.
Long evolution history tend to demage it.

Hi @silverpill @hongminhee,
with due respect, I disagree. Resistance was Niklaus #Wirth's answer (https://cr.yp.to/bib/1995/wirth.pdf) and IMO still is. There is no tooling to make bloat go away.

What you summarise with the wish for 10 libraries is the utter failure of the standard.

@CGM I never heard of #SASL! I have always been a huge #Wirth fan. Did tons of real-life work in #Pascal, moved through #Modula2 up to, finally, #Oberon2. Had such fond memories of it that I tried to use it last year for #AdventOfCode and learned that it was not nearly as good as I remembered. Have you tried #Racket (a kind of #Scheme)? It’s not for me but it’s interesting. Used it in a job interview once. Your description of how flow control is defined in #TCL really reminds me of Racket. I’m learning #RustLang and having the kind of #Macros you get in #Lisp and Scheme is another reason Rust is so enjoyable.

Okay I usually post C64 or Amiga demos BUT ... I just saw this TURBO PASCAL (!) MS-DOS (!) DEMO that actually has a Niklaus Wirth tribute ... And it's great!

So let's roll it again! 😎
