In his own programming language and compiler. Which he used to write other programs and video games. Which probably took him more than 10 years of waking up every day and working on it 12-16 hours a day while drinking liters of Shasta Cola. Do you do that?

It depends. A compiler to assembly that optimizes and is fast is non-trivial (lexer, parser, compiler). It's funny people in here says if it were the case but the majority can't write a simple ll(1).

It's because he said NIGGER a lot. He was never worshipped in any capacity until the /pol/ flood took over the site, losethos and sparrowOS were always seen as an oddity made by a crazy guy and laughed at.

>>101549919
Then what/who should we idolize?
>>
This thread is full of Pust, Go and JS/TS kids...
>>
>>101548946
He scored 1460 on the SAT. Back then SATs correlated pretty strongly with IQ, to the point that scores from back then are still accepted by high IQ societies like Mensa and TNS. TNS has a cutoff of 1450 for SAT scores obtained before 1994. Terry's SAT score put his IQ at around 146 or the 1 in 1000 level. This is about the level of the average nobel laureate.

I've never looked up to anyone, learnt how to program purely to make the things I wanted to make

Probably there will be one, maybe not, but i hope so, it's a pity that he has diagnosed with schizophrenia...
I bet when he wasn't sick he was a really nice person
>>
>>101544073
He was just the same as hundreds of other OS dev hobbyists. Smarter than the average programmer for sure, but not exceptionally. He's only popular here because the average /g/ user is an absolute moron who hasn't written anything over 1000 lines in his life, and for such people everything above their level of skill blends together. If he didn't go on angry schizophrenic rants, nobody on /g/ would know or care about him.

>>101552279
Et tu, xolatile? You're pretty smart, you of all people should be aware that there's a dozen OS projects more interesting than TempleOS, an OS with such a basic and inferior design (ring 0 only, single address space) that it historically got abandoned as soon as hardware allowed for that. Yet I never hear about seL4, Mezzano, CHERI, Haiku, Theseus, Illumos, or Genode here. The only time I hear about Qubes is in the context of the creator being a tranny.
In other words, I'm not shitting on the C language, I'm shitting on /g/. These retarded monkeys couldn't tell good OS design from bad if their life depended on it. The only reason they know Terry is that he was their lolcow, his tragic mental decline a source of cheap entertainment for them.
Missed your C generals btw, hope you resume making them.
>>
>>101544073
Blessed with divine intellect. Not in my lifetime.
>>
>>101546556
He made an OS that's not another shitty boring Unix clone. That's at least worth noting.
>>
If he were alive today he would've made TempleAI and it would've allowed to you do anything.
>>
>>101558507
He wasn't smart for making TempleOS, HolyC or RedSea. I have high respect for him because of his opinions on simplicity, and their practical application in his programs.
You'll hear retards talking about KISS, DRY, OO, CC, but all of those miss the point. Simplicity is something that doesn't hide the complexity, but removes it, even tho it could make it.
As I said I downloaded a lot of his streams on my external HDD, and I watch them often, alongside Russian twink Tsoding and 6502/Z80 deity Hjalfi (guy who thinks 6KiB assembler is bloated).
--
You baited out honest and serious reply from me...
--
By the way, I wasn't the one who was making /chad/ threads about C. Ada is my fetish language, I enjoy good Fortran 95 even more, but I write serious programs in C.
My 2016 C programs were (example) 6k SLOC of Vulkan 3D renderer, written in Emacs (then). Now I prefer less than 300 SLOC small C terminal programs, written in Geany, sometimes nano.
I'm programming for 13 years at this point, started with Python and Pascal, changed a lot of languages, but in the end I learned to love simplicity of C (no struct, union, const, etc.).
--
I write toy programs, nothing of importance, but I enjoy it, and I don't earn from programming, I do physical labor related job, so I couldn't really care about "real-world" languages or programs.
If you ignore sick side of Terrence, and pay closer attention of what he's saying, you'll find a lot of truth. Less in Casey, Jon and other "influencers", and never take advice from webdevs.
