skift

people always say that C++ is not a good fit for kernels, but so far this is the only language I know where small teams or individuals are regularly able to create non-trivial hobby OSes from scratch that go from zero to GUI: - Serenity (https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity) - not really a small team, but it managed to get to GUI as pretty much a one-man-show - Skift (https://github.com/skift-org/skift) - hhu: https://github.com/hhuOS/hhuOS - MaxOS: https://github.com/maxtyson123/MaxOS - MorphiOS: https://github.com/syedtaqi95/morphiOS - Macaron: https://github.com/MacaronOS/Macaron - Ghost: https://github.com/maxdev1/ghost most big ones in C don't manage to get to the GUI level, except toaruos: https://github.com/klange/toaruos

I built a whole operating system using ideas transplanted from Rust into C++ https://github.com/skift-org/skift

> I'm not sure why one would write a new OS in C++ in 2021/2022 numbers of hobby C++ OS started from scratch which went from zero to GUI in a couple years: at least 4 - SerenityOS, this, https://github.com/skiftOS/skift, https://github.com/Supercip971/WingOS how many in other languages ?

What touches me the most is how much I like the GUI applications look [0][1]. As a person, who use GNOME Shell DE on daily basis I really miss to see the titlebars condensed with the menu just like VSCode does. It was what I liked in the very last Unity DE and I happy to see this once again. I am also amazed how simple the TextEditor is [2][3][4] and how handy looks your libwidget components [5].
