Hello list, My plans for the next year:
Libc ---- This next release will hopefully feature a more asynchronous VFS library which can move a number of improvements at libc forward. When the internals of libc settle and stabilize, I hope to make performance improvements to libc for the sake of my next topic... Package management ------------------ I had big hopes when I worked to port the Nix package manager to Genode, but in reality sourced-based package management was not economical when compared to native POSIX counterparts. However, a fixed ABI across kernels is a game-changer. I would like to combine this with asynchronous session requests and again experiment with alternative package management flows. Nim --- This year I successfully compiled and executed Nim language code for Genode, but next year I would like to take time to make proper C++ glue between the Nim standard library and Genode. My motivation is to port or build network applications written in a modern langauge rather than rely on the BSD sockets API. Gaming ------ For me, gaming was the gateway drug to general purpose computing. I would like to see Genode able to play the same role for the next generation as DOS played for me. As a low priority task I hope to work towards making a gaming console like system using the "lego" composition technique. So a modular menuing system and maybe integrating some package management. Now that I have the Libretro API/ABI nearly supported, getting more games to run has been more or less trivial. Best wishes for 2017, Emery
