mono on bare metal?

[redoktober]

heylo, one and all!

lately, i've been hearing about this project about porting the kaffe JVM onto bare metal.
that allows it to theoretically run a java-based OS.
how about doing the same with mono??

Nothing stops you. Mono is just a library you can embed into other applications, so it would be just as easy to embed it into your kernel. You'd need a bare metal C standard library for it to run on, and don't expect WinForms or anything fancy unless you also embed GTK, some sort of GUI system, and a large array of drivers into your kernel.

hmm..
well, work's underway.
to create the kernel, that is.

then, i'll embed mono...and then...we'll see...
