You'd have to be a complete idiot to write a complete OS in ASM!

Guess these guys are idiots then, huh?
ASM programming is just one of the necessary steps in creating an operating system. An "entire" OS in C/C++ will most likely be a piece of shit that's unable to control any of the hardware in your computer.
As far as the so-called hacker who started the thread, I believe he is full of shit. But that's just my opinion. It's great to have goals, but they aren't any good if not based in reality. The suggestions you gave him about developing on current projects would probably be best for him if I thought he actually knew what the hell he was talking about.
He's a poser. Plain and simple.

I didn't say you should not use ASM _at all_ when writing an operating system. It should be used on some tasks. BUT, writing a complete operating system in ASM will cause lots of headaches and is un-needed when we have very powerful computers able to pick up for the "slack" C leaves.
Remember when everything was written in ASM, and then people started using C instead? You remember why? Because ASM was a pain in the ass to develop with, was hard to read, and, jesus, it took so long to program using it, I can't belive they didn't make the transition earlier!

The last thing we need is another operating system. We have Linux, and thats all we need, dont like, change it to how you would.
WHY NOT WRITE AN OPERATING SYSTEM IN COBOL
(hehehehehe)
