gollark: > Instead write an actual program. Something fun, something useful, something completely useless and over-complicated. Whatever. As long as you learn a ton and have fun I don't care - that is what ComputerCraft is about :). But please don't just make an operating system.
gollark: Importantly:> Don't. Find something else interesting to write. Most operating systems end up being glorified startup screens. The ones which don't generally opt for features which are "cool" or exist in real life operating systems rather than those which make life easier for the user.
gollark: Oops, sent it twice!
