Hi All,

I am new to Julia, although already addicted :). My imagination does 
outweigh my understanding for now but I wanted to know why it wouldn't be 
possible to right an Operating System, or at least a very small one in 
Julia. Noted by Tim holy in this 
post: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/julia-users/gui/julia-users/PakwjAB-14s/tEpBkGf-KgwJ

I was looking around a little bit before finding that post and I found this 
dated package: https://github.com/toivoh/julia-kernels

I contacted Toivo and he said the package was likely dated now and pointed 
me to devectorized Julia code to do 
this: https://github.com/lindahua/Devectorize.jl

My vision is to write something equivalent to this to 
start: http://jvns.ca/blog/2014/03/12/the-rust-os-story/

My first question is can it be done? If it can then I want to open up this 
feed to discussions on the design. Or maybe if it can't, will this ever be 
in the scope of Julia.

Any resources or rants would be great!
