Dusk OS


is a 32-bit Forth and big brother to Collapse OS. Its primary purpose is to be maximally useful during the first stage of civilizational collapse, that is, when we can't produce modern computers anymore but that there's still many modern computers around.

For example, the total lines of code involved in having a fully booted bare metal i386 PC Dusk system running on a FAT16 with a C compiler, i386 assembler and a Grid text editor is less than 6000. The puff() algorithm from zlib DWC USB controller driver from Plan 9 Michael Schierl's RISC5 emulator allowing Dusk to run Project Oberon. It compares favorably to other more complete OSes because there's no concurrent process to mess with your poking and the driver structure is more approachable, hackable due to its stricter scope and savvier target audience.
