Really neat. Do you have any specific long term goals for it? Eg, provide an OS distro (using Linux drivers?) to provide memory safety for security-critical contexts?

Also, are there any opportunities to make this kernel significantly faster than Linux’s?

Eventually, It'd be amazing to use Moss as my daily driver OS. That means targeting the specific hardware that I have, but in doing so, I hope to build up enough of the abstractions to allow easier porting of hardware.

A more concrete mid-term goal is for it to be 'self-hosting'. By that I mean you could edit the code, download dependencies and compile the kernel from within Moss.

Are you interested in beating Linux performance-wise? Eg:

- Moving away from the too-small 4kb default page size (while having a good strategy for dealing with fragmentation)?

- Make it easy to minimize/track interrupts on a core, for low-latency contexts
