An effort to write a modern, non-Unix operating system in V.

Goals

• Keep it simple and easy to understand.
• Write it in V as much as possible.
• Target modern 64-bit architectures (amd64, aarch64, risc-v).

Why?

• Explore V capabilities in bare metal programming.
• Break the compiler as much as possible.
• Build a minimal and useful platform for software [especially written in V :^)], allowing for better control, isolation and smaller attack surface on VMs.
• Build a simple OS for low cost ARM/RISC-V boards that usually run Linux.
