Lithium revisited: A 16-bit kernel (well, sort of) written in Clojure (well, sort of)
Read OriginalThis article revisits 'Lithium,' a project involving a 16-bit kernel and an x86 assembler written in a Clojure-like language. It details the implementation of a simple graphical stripes effect, the compiler's development based on a Lisp-like language, and how the code can run as a bare-metal kernel or a DOS .COM binary. The author shares the source and a reproduction guide using DOSBox and Leiningen.
