Video about HD/CDROM probe during boot to identify CDROM ports. BIOS gives drive number but not ports, so it must probe to find them.

It's not on the list but… support to connect to the Internet.
The problem with your OS is you can't communicate data between it and other OSes. The Internet is a nice way to do that, I think (or you could add support for RedSea into Linux).

If you can find bugs or have suggestings, post them. I hope to spend a year collecting improvements and establish a committee of experts. Then do a permanent release that lasts for 7 years. Look up 7 year release in the Bible. Once the world recognizes God's temple, we do universal hardware upgrades every 49 years. Jubilee.

This is not going to be like Linux. It will always be only 100,000 lines of code, so I can manage easily. It shoudl crystalize into an unchanging perfect thing. Then, it will be like a C64 ROM for 7 years. It is such a joy with that sort of thing.

It must always be one architecture. A new version for ARM can be created (by someone else). It must always be one language. I hate #ifdef hell. I also set a limit of 100,000 lines of code.

If you remember the 80's, C64's were fun. They were modern.
TempleOS is a souped-up, modern 64-Bit C64, but much more. It is HolyC instead of BASIC.

Hey Terry, what do you think of the Forth programming language? It's stack-based and has no type checking. Have you ever used it? It's commonly used as a system's programming language.

Terry A. Davis!JVmI16MXo. 02/16/15 (Mon) 18:56:17 No.329

>>327
It's probably okay. I already have HolyC. I think BASIC and/or LISP are the options. I don't want anything too non-mainstream.

Anonymous 02/16/15 (Mon) 20:56:39 No.351

Do you have a specific LISP dialect in mind? I recommend Haskell for its clean syntax (no parentheses cluttering) and a small language definition (spanning about 150 pages).

I agree with him, parentheses are awful.

Anonymous 02/16/15 (Mon) 22:37:59 No.387

>>359
By clean, I mean compared to other LISP dialects.

Consider the following implementations of quicksort algorithm:

>in Common LISP
(defun quicksort (list &aux (pivot (car list)) )
(if (cdr list)
(nconc (quicksort (remove-if-not #'(lambda (x) (< x pivot)) list))
(remove-if-not #'(lambda (x) (= x pivot)) list)
(quicksort (remove-if-not #'(lambda (x) (> x pivot)) list)))
list))

>in Haskell
quicksort [] = []
quicksort (x:xs) = quicksort smaller ++ [x] ++ quicksort bigger
where smaller = filter (< x) xs
bigger = filter (>= x) xs

The Haskell implementation is clearly more straightforward, assuming that one's familiar with both language constructs.

Regarding size of Haskell, K&R spends around 180 pages to describe C (excluding the parts on standard library), and C is praised by many as a small language. Therefore, it is adequate to say Haskell is a small language as well.

Does the 100,000 line limit have anything to do with the 100,000 lines of BIBLE.TXT, or is it just a coincidence?

I thought about that too. I like it that TempleOS is the same size as the Bible.
God puppeted me and talked to me and caused it to turn-out just right. It is divine intellect. The Bible is "the inspired word of God." So is TempleOS.

That being said, we need a commitee to get it perfected in around a year. Then we make a release every 7 years.
It will be nice when it crystalizes into a perfect gem, like the C64 ROM. It will be delightful with an unchanging….

I was talking about it and God said this:

15:1 At the end of every seven years thou shalt make a release.

15:2 And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that
lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact
it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the
LORD's release.

15:3 Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again: but that which is
thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; 15:4 Save when there
shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in
the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to
possess it: 15:5 Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the
LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command
thee this day.

15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou
shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou
shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

Creating a Github repository for TempleOS might be a good idea for getting the workflow going. It works like svn but you have control over what changes get incorporated into the codebase.
Just a suggestion btw

It's not really good for that. It small – just 100,000 lines of code. I will manage it. Submit code on this site if you like. I want to reduce line count. That's my favorite.

Mostly it won't change much, I think. It's pretty good already. God said it must be perfect.

Let's ask God, LOL.

It is a covenant that you do an offering before consulting Him. It is naughty to do a crappy offering.

I used to be an atheist. I got the clever idea of calling Linux for atheists. I use it, though. I'm not really at war with it.
