Show HN: Anos – a hand-written ~100KiB microkernel for x86-64 and RISC-V (github.com)
avadodin 10 minutes ago [-]
Is this inspired by any particular micro-kernel design?

Looking at syscalls.h, it looks like it abstracts the platform details, for example.

Is SYSTEM for amd64 source-compatible with the riscv version?

In my opinion if you learned something from it, it was useful. Bonus points if others learn from it as well, but if not then as long as you did then it doesn’t matter. AI age or not.

I’ve always found hobby OS projects like this interesting, and I hope there’s never a shortage of them in the future

The comment in the "high level overview" section - "(just a hobby, won't be big and professional like GNU-Linux®)" is an amusing reference

They have the same utility they always have. They help you and the people you share it with learn. So it's exceedingly useful.

> given we now live in the age of AI coding

We live in an age of AI overinvestment. I would reserve judgement until they prove they actually have something.
