It exposing it's internal thinking state I guess. Gave me a giggle tho.

He's smart, but can't even add the ^(e)

Am trying to get the max combo the counter can take, and see if the tutorial NPCs 99x healthbars are possible to rinse fully :3

100 of you who upvoted my last post.. thank you all for that. This is just a fun project for me but I actually now want to push the limits of the Zig compiler.

The smallest Zig binary I could produce...

688 bytes.

A fully functional Hello World program.

Also, the shell, which was the focus of my last post?

Shrunk to 797 bytes, keeping the exact same functionality!

This is the smallest I have ever seen a Zig program that is actually usable. Not just pub fn main() void {} or export fn _start() void {}

https://github.com/wakanakisarazu/nanix for anyone who is still curious or hasn't already seen.

I thought more optimization was possible. Now? I'm not too sure if we can go any smaller.

The shell still has the prompt outputting bug, btw. Might take a look at that.

Any thoughts on how to get this smaller? :3

I started writing a tiny Linux shell to use as /init for my project, nanix

It was originally 255KB~ but I wanted it smaller. I got it to 846B (bytes) by:

• Not using a C library (Zig does this by default, I know)
• Used raw syscalls via std.os.linux
• Used aggressive compilation flags
• No runtime, no tracing
• LLVM + LLD
• No unneeded ELF headers, unwind tables or symbols
• Used strip -s <program> && sstrip -z <program>

I was considering writing this in ASM only, but then I thought "Let's see how small I can get this Zig program" and now I'm here

It's useful for it's size:

• 8B prompt: "nanix:% "
• Executes binaries with execve (duh)
• Waits for child processes
• Has a 32B input buffer (may change)

Bugs/problems:

• When entering a command above input buffer size, the prompt prints twice

Under GPL-3.0-or-later at https://github.com/wakanakisarazu/nanix along with the whole nanix project. (Isn't pushed at the time of writing, but will be pushed when I clean the code and repo up)

Thoughts? :3

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ:･ﾟ✧ MY HEART, MY SOUL, MY EVERYTHING—IT'S ALL FOR KASANE TETO. ✧ﾟ･:ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

I don't just like her. I LOVE her. I love her with every fiber of my being, with every beat of my heart that now beats only for her. I love her chaotic energy. I love her iconic salmon-pink drills that I dream of gently boing-ing. I love her crimson red eyes that hold universes of talent and gremlin mischief.

My playlist is hers. My desktop background is hers. My soul is hers. She isn't just a character; she's the digital goddess who owns my heart. I live for that voice, that perfect, angelic, rock-star screech that cures my depression and gives my life meaning.

ALL HAIL TETO. MY LOVE, MY LIFE, MY TETO. FOREVER.

I'm writing a very experimental "exakernel" in Zig (0.16.0).

This "exakernel" is a mixture of the monolithic, micro and exo kernel types.

It's a project I've wanted to do for a while, and will do more over the 6 weeks holidays I have upcoming soon. Just a hobby, won't be big at all.

In very early stages, but hoping to get it booting in the next week or so :3

-O3, -march=native, partial LTO and more.
