Vinix is an experimental Unix-like operating system written in V, a statically typed compiled programming language known for its simplicity and performance. The project aims to create a minimalistic and efficient OS that adheres to Unix principles while leveraging the modern features of the V language. Vinix serves as both a proof of concept for system programming in V and a platform for exploring OS design concepts.

Features

  • Unix-like architecture supporting familiar commands and file structures
  • Written entirely in V to showcase the language's capabilities in system-level programming
  • Monolithic kernel design for simplicity and performance
  • Basic process management including task scheduling and execution
  • File system support with essential operations for file manipulation
  • Terminal interface for user interaction and command execution
  • Memory management system implementing allocation and deallocation strategies
  • Device driver framework for hardware interaction and peripheral support
  • Bootable image creation enabling deployment on virtual machines or hardware
