Writing a compiler isn't difficult. Writing a good one is.
Lucas Baker
A 20,000-line divine intellect compiler, that operates just-in-time and ahead-of-time. How will that nigger Linus ever compete?
Joshua Cooper
reminds me of that Go derivative, vlang.io that made stupid claims then released the code and revealed it was a pile of shit
Brayden Fisher
And an assembler, dissasembler, bootloader, graphics library and a whole OS in a ultra small 2 megabyte distro.
Noah Murphy
I don't lurk enough
Pls explain
Joshua Anderson
Gone too soon
Henry Watson

Damn... Literally all I need from an OS.
Charles Russell
any one with a lot of free time can make a operating system.... my last helping comment.... for a big time.......
James Ortiz
sure they can user
Owen Collins
did he use flex, yacc, etc?
Luke Nelson
He used his divine intellect.
Every goddamn line in it was written by him, no outside programs needed.
Henry Campbell
He wrote fucking everything from scratch, that's something really impressive.
We all make software on the shoulders of giants, but what's what lies behind it? Something made by another person.
He has been in every step. Every byte, every pixel and every beep has been placed by hand by him.
That's a feat almost nobody can achieve nowadays; in a world where everything gets so complex that things gets centralized quickly because of the sheer inconvenience of reinventing the wheel. We can see it in our browsers, our operating systems, our microprocessors, our own computers.
Jaxon Martinez
Jacob Thompson
Thomas Lopez
this, I wrote one for a CS class.
Josiah Campbell
Big fag who's never wrote a compiler.
Gavin Howard
zoomer faggot here
who's this guy and what did he do?
Jayden Evans
Did it just get hot in this room? I'm feeling a little angry coming on...
Nolan Lewis
Terry A Davis spent ten years full time writing his own OS from scratch. ~200,000 lines of code from what I understand. The OS was originally "a fun place to program" but between Terry's developing schizophrenia and rising online fame he began to suspect the CIA had it out for him, and eventually turned the OS into an oracle through which one could speak to god.
Terry died a couple years back getting hit by a train. He leaves behind a legacy as one of the greatest programmers ever known.
Mason Russell
>hit by a train
he finally was got by the cia that was after him. probably "hired" to develop an OS just for them
Leo Diaz
It could have been a suicide. His final video he was surprisingly lucid, maybe he killed himself in a moment of clarity.
Isaiah Harris
>moment of clarity
assuming he had schizophrenia in the first place
Joshua Wood
thx, also that shit fucking sucks. i'm not a tech guy but i'm coming from a math background (/sci/) there's some Galois vibes here
Asher Martinez
If you can't manually compile your code using macros and flat binary output from an assembler then you don't belong on this board.
Gabriel Rogers
>couple years back
it was august 11th, 2018 you fucking zoomer.
Noah Russell
Fuck off it felt like longer. I'm not the damn TempleOS historian just giving the basic summary for this guy.
Mason Lee
I bet he used stack overflow
Oliver Hall
There are similarities, Terry did something unimagineable. Writing a modern OS from scratch was a huge undertaking.
Connor Fisher
>if(i%3 == 0 && i%5 == 0)
nigger
He was a fucking artist after all
>couple years back
Luis Perez
what about hardware ? he didnt design engineer or manufacture any of those
when someone singlehandedly implements a comptuer from scratch and when isay from scratch i mean straight up from sand then ill be impressed
Christopher Allen
he dead
Lucas Hill
Terry laid out a vision for the ideal TempleOS hardware somewhere. It'd be interesting to see something do the whole thing though.
James Miller
But not many compilers writers write compliers that compile the os that they write
Alexander Collins
Thanks for that, good shit
Jack Richardson
Oh here it was, pretty impractical without divine intervention though.

Found some other interesting articles about design decisions too.

Charles Foster
The songs have amazing lyrics, he could have been an indie star
Daniel Ward
He seemed like a nice guy. How did he kill himself?
Michael Murphy
It was the CIA that did it.
Gavin Bennett
Imagine thinking a bachelor's level understanding of computer architecture is divine intellect. Even semi-ironically.
Elijah Baker
Have you seen his Sabbath cover?
Caleb Scott
Have you made an OS before? Fucking idiot.
Adam Young
I learned to create a compiler from scratch in my second year of bachelors. Once you have a basic understanding on how it all works there’s not really any magic behind it. I could probably manage to write a working C compiler with enough time at my hands, it would be shit and unoptimized but it would work.
Zachary Gomez
And you fucking killed him.
Ian Thomas
