Anyone with this type of hobby kernel experience, how hard would it be to build the "Ruby on Rails" or "NodeJS" of kernels?
If hard, why so difficult? I'm more referring to a theoretical reason, rather than practical.
Practical Reasons:
- drivers are required
- C/ASM is hard (ie lack of contributors)
- different hardware architectures need to be supported. That part I get.
Why in theory can you not have an operating system framework that allows people to "relatively easily" build a custom kernel (instead of using Linux) the same way something like Go allows me to "relatively easily" build a custom HTTP server (instead of using Apache)?
