Nintendo ES

[kedawa]

I found this at OSNews, and I don't quite know what to make of it

ES is a fairly interesting looking open source research OS created by Nintendo. Runs natively on x86 (and qemu of course), kernel is written in C++, uses an ECMAScript interpreter for all of the userland, uses Cairo for graphics, and even has a port of Squeak.

I suppose it could be the beginnings of their next platform, or maybe the underpinnings of their future online infrastructure, but whatever it is, it came out of nowhere.

it looks like the unholy fusion of Linux and Javascript

maybe fun to play around with in a virtual machine or something
