The Ada Microkernel Project (or TAMP): The plan

Following on from my hello world style kernel, I've decided to post a plan for what I intend to accomplish in regards to an OS design.

I've been thinking about OS designs for over 10 years on and off and have wanted to develop one.

An Ada95 "hello world" style kernel

Conversations on #Ada keep coming back to operating systems and their kernels so I decided to dig out some code I wrote in 2000 and get it working again. I intended this code to be the basis of a microkernel written in Ada.

Dot notation for tagged types

Using the code from the interface types tutorial, we can now use the dot notation provided by Ada 2005.

Interface types

Carrying on from the abstract types tutorial, the natural progression is to add multiple inheritance.
