Sounds like you you and I are after pretty much the same thing.
I'm not really trying to build anything, like a kernel, just yet.
Rather, I'm just trying to get a decent runtime built so we can
all have a reasonably polished language to work with.
You can find my work here:
https://github.com/JinShil/druntime_level_0. I'm afraid it's not
any further along then yours. I actually became quite
discouraged and stalled. I'm trying to explore other options,
hence this post.
