I just thought of this, how about writing a parser for a language in C and write your os in this language and then have the parser interpret this language.

and the added value might be ... ? If you want a challenge try writing an os in binary just zero's and one's also funny but imho just as pointless as writing an os in klingon.

you dont need to create the parser yourself, there's already a klingon programming language (google around for it), you'd just have to add some low-level stuff so you can interface with hardware and you'll be set

Maybe, extend it to support writing and reading to/from ports. What we need is a high-level language which can eliminate the need for assembly in an OS (besides maybe the bootloader).

Might this make a more secure OS?

After all,who would understand the source code in Klingon?It would all fall back to machine language in the end,though.

Fun thoughts,

Security through obscurity, yes :shock:

Different kind of obscurity.Not like moving telnet port to another port.

Who would seriously learn Klingon,or know what it is to begin with,just to read some source code?I'm sure if it became commonplace,it would be a different story,though.

But this is obscurity.IMHO,anyway.

Regards,
Redwolf

You can crack Windows without seeing (and let alone understanding) the source code...

Or go to your local uni/college and get a copy of the shared source Windows Vista kernel.

I don't think professors will share though :cry: ( which is rather unfortunate IMHO )
