beach: even Genera wasn't Lisp all the way down, much less OpenGenera.

it's very rare to escape assembler in an OS

ACTION chuckles at the idea of an OS written in Fortran

ACTION thinks Ada would be a good language to write an OS in

there's house in haskell if you're really bored, but it's coop multitasking and you can break it if you're too good at orthello iirc

IBM once had something called the FORTRAN OS, but it was apparently an OS (of the MS-DOS program loader type) for Fortran programs, probably written in assembler.

how are you?
8:13:22
heisig
Fine, thank you. I know I probably shouldn't ask, but how are your exam preparations going?
8:13:46
no-defun-allowed
alright, i just had the most stressful one today

(i'm alright at performing music but on paper i'm terrible)

May I ask what instrument you play? Or are you a singer?
8:18:25
no-defun-allowed
my last performances were guitar, but i also play piano
8:18:39
no-defun-allowed
though despite starting piano first and learning it for longer, i'm better at guitar. odd.
8:26:28
no-defun-allowed
do you play any instruments?
8:29:43
heisig
Yes, I play the trombone and I used to play church organ (but I am too lazy/busy to practice church organ nowadays).
8:30:45
heisig
Not as useful as playing the guitar though. You can bring none of these instruments to a party.
8:31:14
no-defun-allowed
just have all your parties at churches if that's an issue :P
8:32:20
heisig
:D Oh, and I forgot I occasionally play the didgeridoo, if that counts anything.
8:32:41
no-defun-allowed
haha, you can bring that to a party though

I think it quickly gets annoying.

ACTION would rather discuss music, but has to write some emails now...

digeridoo dubstep was a thing i think, so if you did that approximately five years ago you'd be good
8:34:22
no-defun-allowed
alright, take care :)
8:34:54

... now I have to search for didgeridoo dubstep :)
8:37:01
no-defun-allowed
i'm not sure if it got big, but i do remember one street performer playing what he called digeridoo dubstep.

that would be even better then otamatone metal
8:37:53
no-defun-allowed
now i have to search that up
8:38:25
no-defun-allowed
yep that's a thing
8:39:13
no-defun-allowed
range of the otamatone is a bit limited though, i'd guess two octaves, a few more would be handy for shredding
