Tested the Nako IDE - got "hello world" running! But I'm a bit confused about the architecture.

Is Waputer a full OS kernel or primarily a dev environment? The three components (School/Terminal/Editor) seem related but I can't quite connect the dots.

What's the typical workflow - write in Nako → WASM → run where exactly?

Cool concept, just trying to understand the pieces!

Thank you for checking it out, and I am glad you are interested! You are right in that some bits are still needed to fully close the loop. The short of it: the idea is to write apps in Nako, compile it to WASM, and then publish it to run on Waputer.

The longer answer is that Waputer has a package system that Nako will soon take advantage of. NakoIDE itself is just a package that gets loaded when you go to the URL. The APIs for creating packages and allowing others to run them already exist; I have not had time to document them or integrate them directly into Nako. Users will be able to directly publish to URLs of the form "waputer.app/@user/package", while main applications like Nako exist just as "waputer.app/package". I will have a blog post that digs into the details of packages and publishing in a few weeks.

I also want to emphasize that I do not require everything end up on Waputer. The compiler that is running inside NakoIDE generates WASM files by default, but it can output x86_64 object files. I love interoperability.
