I browsed the sources of funk OS one year ago, if I remember corectly you are one og its author. I assume that if funk manages memory and run threads it's possible to code an OS from ground up using Ocaml but want to be sure:
- Does I need to disable an option to avoid the garbage collector's use? (I gues that yes) - Also need I disable Ocaml theading subsystem? (Obviously yes, but are there some limitations?) Are there other important considerations to take? Do you think that Ocaml is suitable for OS coding (I''m using C now).
