TempleOS is rather unusual for a hobbyist OS is being written in its own programming language.

There are people who develop their own operating systems as a hobby. There are people who design and implement their own programming languages as a hobby. For a single person to do both, in the one project, is actually pretty rare. Most people find trying to do both, together, is biting off way more than they can chew

There were quite a few of those in the OS communities where I met Terry :)

Sure, the squares were using POSIX and C. But we did things different.

I'd be interested if you could point to some examples.
