Hi,

i'm thinking of starting developing my OS. It sounds too crazy but it isn't; it is much more :)

I wonder if c is the right language.
The OS won't be graphical. Just like linux's fisrt version.

I appreciate any idea, any anything!
 
The bootloader will have to be in asm.
The kernel is most likely going to be written in a mixture of C and asm.
The runtime library will be written in C and possibly asm.
The shell especially if graphical is probably going to be in C++, but you can use C.

Read Tanenbaums book.
 
Doesn't sound crazy, but do you think you'll get it
finished (means operate error-free)
BEFORE the Cubs will win the World Series ?
 
That's a reason to call it "crazy"...
