@Moon@adiz@thegreatape maybe i'm just getting lucky with my ISP but I've been vpshosting my mails using mailcow for a couple of years and it works great. Had one case where gmail had but it in Spam before, but apart from that I had no issues whatsoever
@Moon Maybe it's because I never had to seriously work with it, but the little pet projects I did using it suffered from their approach to abstraction. Pretty sure that's just my bias, but thinking about OOP design patterns gives me shivers. I'd rather just write a function that generates certain instances of a type instead of having a factory object i.e.
@Moon I'm still very confus how one would go about the JVM in order to actually do something meaningful OS work (i.e. IO) with the Java pointers. Like you'd either need to expose the peripheral register address into the VM or need to escape it :think_nyan: C(++) is very nice for OS dev because of the simple syntax for low-level stuff as well as the little overhead it needs (if you're using a more minimal libc)
@Moon Formally verifying an OS is a massive undertaking, that's why (usually) people don't verify the the system as a whole but certain functional properties of parts of the OS. This would make a functional language the best candidate for OS dev, however you lose a lot of versatility with a strict type system and at the end of the day it's more pragmatic to hackjob the OS in some language that implements easy to use concepts for OS dev and afterwards extract the relevant properties required to prove. People are currently doing that with Linux right now (gl :blobcatgiggle2:) https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.00626
