k23 is a microkernel-based operating system project written in Zig, an emerging systems programming language focused on safety, simplicity, and performance. k23 explores the design of modern OS features like message-passing, memory protection, and modular service construction using Zig’s powerful low-level capabilities. It is an experimental and educational project intended to show how Zig can be used for robust, readable systems programming while enabling contributors to rethink traditional OS structures from the ground up.
Features
- Microkernel architecture for service isolation and modularity
- Written entirely in Zig for safety and low-level control
- Message-passing IPC between isolated components
- Memory management with custom paging system
- x86_64 target support with bootable image
- Early VGA console and basic debugging tools
- Custom syscall interface and scheduling system
- Emphasis on clean, readable, modern systems code
- Suitable for learning Zig and OS development concurrently
