== ExoCore Operating System Kernel == -- Introduction -- ExoCore is an operating system kernel written in the C programming language (C11 with GNU extensions, specifically meant to be built with Clang). It is a so-called exokernel; it only provides the bare minimum of abstraction needed around the hardware. This allows for most aspects of real operating systems to be implemented in user space. ExoCore is primarily a reference project. It is not intended to be a kernel for real world usage; rather, to be a learning project for the developers and anyone else interested in kernel development.
