Huh - my old RTOS professor from undergrad contributed a lot to Xinu and used to shill it to us in class. Didn't think I'd ever see it again.


Agreed, I was an EE at Purdue but still familiar with Xinu from CS clubs. Didn't expect to see it on HN, but a fun throwback!


I took another class from a professor who had never written an OS. It was decent but Xinu was much better.


We focused on it in undergrad too. If I remember right the entire kernel was like 8 pages in the textbook, including commentary.
