Announcing: PonyOS 8

• toaruos

  22 4,690 9.8 C

  Discontinued A completely-from-scratch hobby operating system: bootloader, kernel, drivers, C library, and userspace including a composited graphical UI, dynamic linker, syntax-highlighting text editor, network stack, etc.

In case it's not clear, PonyOS is a joke reskin of my serious OS project, ToaruOS. PonyOS gets a new release every April 1st. All of the libraries and applications in ToaruOS are in-house things I built myself - the whole OS is "built from scratch". PonyOS adds ponysay, which is an external app originally written in Python - and in previous releases of PonyOS I shipped the Python version alongside a port of Python 3.6. This release, though, comes with a port to my own language, Kuroko, which is a dialect of Python - a lot of what went into building the PonyOS release this year was getting ponysay to work well.

  Discontinued Extensible, lightweight terminal text editor with syntax highlighting and plugin support.

As for my development environment, for the last several years, I have done all of my programming in my own editor, which I built for the OS but use on Linux as well as my "daily driver". It also uses Kuroko for syntax highlighting scripts and as a general command and configuration language. The OS is generally built with gcc/binutils, though I've done clang builds in the past. The build system is mostly Make, with a bit of magic from Kuroko to automatically track dependencies for userspace applications.
