As someone who grew up with a C64 and programmed them, I can totally appreciate this. The C64 had ROM basic at the same address as part of the physical RAM.

I developed software called CNet BBS back in the day, and the software, written in assembly, would constantly switch the basic ROM interpreter in and out to simulate a multi-tasking environment allowing basic programs to run along side a mini OS.

I absolutely love the sound of his keyboard!

I wonder if TempleOS could find practical applications in the embedded world as an RTOS.

I currently am working with Jacinto J6 processors which are multi-processor devices. They have two ARM A15 cores and 4 ARM M4 cores (called IPUs). My work involves running Linux & Android on the A15 cores while bringing up a hardware monitor on the M4 cores. I looked at several possibilities such as uCLinux, FreeRTOS, and a commercial product called uVelOCity by Green Hills.

Something like TempleOS might feed this need for what appears to be a market of CPUs needing a small RTOS running along side another OS.

For the interested, there is also this project: https://gdmissionsystems.com/7-31-2014-sel4-microkernal-open...
