I am starting to write a new operating system targeting modern processors (for now it's just x86_64, but there are plans to implement aarch64 and RISCV64 support) in Zig.
Currently I am experimenting with a multi-kernel approach for the desktop, inspired by Arrakis and Barrelfish, and I am looking forward to proving this is a better solution than current hybrid monolithic approaches like Windows and Microsoft, although the major difference with mainstream operating systems will reside in the quality of userspace code.

This will make it possible for me to work full-time at the operating system!
