Dreckig OS development has halted. It has been reincarnated as d264b in glorious 64 bit

AMD64 is nothing but a hack.

an ultra secure operating system

In which

everything is inside the kernel, including user programs

Stupidest shit I've read all day. But I did only just wake up.

explicitly segregating the OS and the apps
not worshiping God in TempleOS

I seriously hope you heathens don't do this

Meanwhile, a Very Smart Guy^TM at Azul Systems says your runtime needs to be protected because shit happens:

For your application you probably don’t even need separate user and supervisor modes since all executable code is generated by your just-in-time compiler from a safe language.

That’s the theory but the practice is a little different: JVM’s crash and 1 crashing JVM should not bring down the whole box. So we in fact have a user/kernel split and it’s saved our butts any number of times.

Want to prove your runtime implementation is correct? See you again in five years; let us know how it went.

It is possible in theory.

But it is uneconomical in practice, which is the point.

You just need a sufficiently simple runtime. Mainstream shit is complex and full of bugs. It's not a surprise.

Mainstream shit is complicated because users demand it. A performant JIT compiler for a VM is never going to be simple.

Users (normal people) don't know what they want and it is only complicated because it is programmed by stupids for stupids.

Don't be so quick to rule it out.

Users always want software that runs at infinite speed developed in zero time. Most are willing to accept less than perfect functionality or reliability. The quality of most software products reflects these demands.
