yes, not a unix os but rather unix-like, and i want to program all of it on python, is that possible?? even the kernel, i want it all python. i know most kernels use c++ or c* but maybe python has a library to turn c* into python?? i’m still sort of a beginner but thanks and i would appreciate the answers

    No, not if you want it to run on the hardware directly at least. If you want it to run as an emulator of sorts under Linux then you could.

    Python needs an interpretor to run on and lacks direct memory/hardware access.

      I’m thinking one would be best off writing a virtual machine hypervisor to run Python code, like facebook did to run their PHP as close to the bare metal as they could get it.

      It would still be a beast of a project to start on with the VM already built, of course.
