Re:Greentea OS non-NT/non-Unix system from scratch runs .exe... by PeyTy on Friday August 01, 2025 @02:05AM (#44753464)
Greentea OS is built from scratch in a custom programming language Hexa with custom kernel design (called Tofita Engine)

While the language looks pretty high-level, having a custom language allows us to fine-tune it for the needs of the OS. It was intended for games and game engines, but later I extended it to the osdev too. The design of Hexa implies balance of high-level feel and moderate safety by default without compromise on performance. You may always go lower or higher level when needed. Kernel is a game-engine inspired experimental design. For simplicity, you may assume its a monolith (with some internal sandboxing, but that's not yet fully implemented). I will cover Tofita design in the future as it evolves.
