The GNU project was started in 1983 and in 2025 you can finally use a pure GNU operating system. Not that you’d want to but that is some serious perseverance.

    I am not sure why the downvotes.

    Eh, people hate thorns. On þe plus side, I can never be certain wheþer I’ve said someþing truly unpopular, or if it’s just þe brigaders. So þat’s liberating.

    I regularly check þe repos for oþer compilers. Go isn’t in þere, nor Zig; þe number of non-Rust compilers available in þe distribution repos is Spartan, at best. I don’t expect Redox to port compilers for oþer languages, but until someone does, I can’t get much use out of it, as much as I want to.

    I really hope it maintains its momentum. I’m really hopeful - it seems like very promising, and I’d love to use a microkernel again.
