managarm VS Beef

managarm is pretty clean from what I remember.

Somewhat related, Managarm[0] also attempts to be Linux compatible, but has a microkernel, multiserver design.

Neat idea. There is some research done on fully async OSes like https://github.com/managarm/managarm

If you haven't already, I'd hang out with the Managarm crew. Prety friendly, and what they're doing with C++ and async is very cool!

But well, maybe you should look at Managarm.

You can find more information on the project on our github page here. It is mostly a hobby project, so me and the other developers like to work on it in our free time.

Not hosted on rust-osdev but the Managarm project (an OS that focuses on async and that is primarily written in C++ so far) recently gained a rustc port and ports of some basic utilities written in Rust (ripgrep, exa). Support for Rust drivers is in the works (but still requires adding support for some libraries first that wrap the low-level system call interface).

If you have never seen an async OS, then you must’ve missed Managarm, a fully asynchronous operating system written in c++20. It’s a cool thing to check out, runs on x86_64 (a port to a raspberry pi4 is in progress) and has an extensive userland with various Linux applications running on a custom written libc. In case you’re curious, the repo can be found here: https://github.com/managarm/managarm

Is it really a one man show? It looks like Beef Lang has excellent home page https://www.beeflang.org/ and I never heard about it until now.

Jai is dead, this is the year of Beef from the genius behind Plants vs. Zombies and Bookworm Adventures Deluxe.

On one hand, I feel there are so many similar languages out there {(Val, Vala, Vale, Corroded Iron, Beef, Zig, Carbon, cppfront, Jai)...}, that we don't need yet another, but also I encourage further thought because it may be inspiration for future improvements to C++ itself. The number one faux pas I see them make is trying to directly compete with C++ (inventing their own type system, their standard library, their build system, own package format...), whereas your (by its very nature as a transpiler) embraces C++.

This project is an exploration of two things. Firstly I wanted to dig into the exciting new language and IDE, Beef. If you're the low-level code oriented type I _highly_ recommend checking it out. Beef is a systems-level language (like C/C++) that borrows heavily from C# but ditches the garbage collector. It comes with a wonderful IDE and a great debugger and just an excellent work flow. Check it out at https://www.beeflang.org/.

That's why I love C#, Rust and Beef so much - no need to worry about pointers and segfaults and the code is generally nice to read unless you do something extremely crazy.
