  • Mezzano

    An operating system written in Common Lisp

  • Some starting points:

    USB mass storage driver: https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano/blob/master/drivers/usb/m...

    ext4 file system (read-only): https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano/blob/master/file/ext4.lis...

    TCP network stack: https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano/blob/master/net/tcp.lisp

  • MBuild

    Build system for Mezzano

  • It looks like it isn't capable of building itself as yet: https://github.com/froggey/MBuild

    Hopefully one day it reaches that point. Ability to build one's self, and even to host one's own development, is an important sign of completeness in an operating system.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
