And to follow up on Zachery - I agree. I always thought of MOSA being more about standards and less about code. A MOSA compiler is a great idea - and it will probably involve some standard libs that a MOSA kernel might need to tap into (to use, for example, the "Intrinsic" attribute that grover exampled earlier) to use the compiler. And maybe, down the road, we can agree in enough commonalities for a HAL and a JIT (well, of course the JIT, if we all end up using a common compiler), that we will have more interfaces that we will either need to implement or code against. (But no standard implementations.) I think though, for now, the MOSA compiler having some sort of simple kernel with it, is making the compiler easier to develop. I believe it was grover that pointed out that because of the way SharpOS expects to be AOTed, the MOSA compiler can't really handle us yet. |
