OSNews, Generic OSes As a programmer and manager of embedded software products for a living, I think that operating system programming is so much fun that it will eventually be outlawed. I've previously published two articles on OSNews, So, you want to write an operating system and Climbing the kernel mountain, and tried to summarize my experience in designing operating system kernels as well as technical traps that can be easily avoided.

A new one once in a while

Yeah... write a kernel seems too much work, but always using the same one doesn't look good either so I guess new kernels are only needed once in a while don't you all think?

Also when writing a kernel you need to use low level languages like Assembly or C and they are really hard, so I guess a new wide used kernel will show up when we are able to code one with a high level language.
