I'm working on a new kind of computer. It's called the Radiant. I've been dissatisfied with the state of personal computing for many years now, so it's time I did something about it. If you think computers could be so much better than what they are, this is for you. radiant.computer

It's still very early days. I started the project beginning of this year, and have been full time on it since August. There is a lot to do. To fulfill the promise of personal computing, we have to question everything down to the OS layer. Radiant won't be based on any pre-existing OS or kernel.

Neither will it use an existing programming language. To that effect I've been working on Radiance, the native language of the Radiant system; and R', its subset. radiant.computer/system/radia...

We've got a long journey ahead, but I'm hoping to find people along the way who believe in this future, and want to help us build it. In the meantime, you can follow our progress on @radiant.computer or write us. 🌅

When you have an emulator (or I have a device) I'd love to build pong or snake for it. Maybe even add multiplayer over the network! :D

How is memory managed in Radiance ?

@cloudhead.io relatedly www.roc-lang.org does have a very interesting memory management model although reading radiant.computer/log/002-inte... I suspect it may not be giving enough control
