  • > BRUTAL is an operating system built from scratch in modern C.

    Modern as in C11?

    > BRUTAL is built on top of a capabilty based micro-kernel.

    Their own, or somebody else's? Why can't they just say which?

    > BRUTAL targets x86_64, i686, RISC-V and ARM.

    Ok, a decent set of targets, certainly for starting out with.

    > BRUTAL exposes its features to developers through clean APIs.

    Which are listed where?

    > BRUTAL features a rich and modern C library complete with fibers, custom allocators, generic data structures, and more...

    Did they reimplement the entire C library? Added a backed/port for an existing library?

    I like Brutalism in design, don't like Minimalism in documentation.

    The Rust Programming Language

  • > My question though was more about rust as a language. Does it have a golden standard introduction to it like C does.

    You'd have to be specific. If you are looking for simplicity, nothing will ever beat C, but just because a languague is simple doesn't mean it's easy to program. See Brainfuck.

    Generally Rust Book is considered a gold standard, but I rarely read them unless I am truly at a loss what next.
