Squeak! OS

I had an idea for something. How bout making a program that would work like operating system that is coded in Squeak! ? It would have the same GUI as scratch, but it would be a OS. I could help, but not as head programmer. i am not that good at Squeak! yet (although I think I just had a breakthrough).
What do you say?

Okay, I'll start on it then.

EDIT: is the name "Squeak! OS"?

Great prediction!  tongue

It's not that I don't think it's a good idea, but you knowledge of OSes and Programs is probably not enough to undertake such a task. An operating system is a very long and complicated project, and needs millions of lines of low-level code (or, in simple terms, code written almost in machine code). Call it a assembly language if you prefer; C and asm are both good examples.

As for some kind of "cover" OS, a kind of shell system that overrides WIndows, I'm already working on one. And i decided to use VB for the task; Squeak, being compiled at runtime, is too slow for that. I've already made a start on it and it's called SilviSoft Crystal. I will be releasing it... not too soon  tongue

So, sorry  sad

Why do you still insist on that? Now I know it has gone kinda down hill, but I am starting over! So you are doing something also?
