at least they’re honest about where the pipeline ends. I have an idea for how we could optimize out some steps though

Even with minimal things enabled, NetBSD’s rc script takes a while to finish on a 120MHz ARM9, so I wrote my own rc script that runs in a couple seconds. But it looks like the 30 second delay on shutdown is hardcoded into /sbin/init. So maybe I’ll write my own init too.

There are some things about the kernel that I think could be slightly improved. Maybe I’ll write my own ker

i can't believe sandboxing has been a solved problem since 1994. why don't we simply remove the language features that can do harm https://www.guppylake.com/nsb/pubs/ulpaa-94.pdf

they open-sourced the entire compiler, but you're only gonna need the EDG https://github.com/edgcpp/compiler

even on a basic ARM9 without any fancy simd, we can find some fun doing "data-oriented" tricks. for my DM30 console, i'm using an 8x12 font, with the framebuffer stored as 1bpp 800x600 and the font stored as an array of 1bpp 8x12 glyphs. since our CPU is 32 bit, instead of doing byte loads/stores, we can load four characters out of the character map at a time, then load four rows of each character's glyph, then swizzle the pixels around in registers to splat out a 32x4 tile at a time

instead of adding “Co-Authored-By:” to all your commit messages, how about extending your author name with “ et AI”
