Why is there a tutorial on implementing loops in some language or another on an OS development wiki? --Love4boobies 20:52, 26 October 2016 (CDT)

  • There is a standing plan to (eventually) create a separate wiki and forum for language design and compiler development. To this end, the OS wiki group established a set of pages for bootstrapping it, to be temporary hosted here. No one else has worked on it for a while, but the subject of how certain constructs came up in the fora, and was relevant to OS dev (because a question arose about efficiency for explicit loops versus gotos - one of the posters was using goto extensively on this basis, and we were able to show that it was not faster in general), so I thought it would make sense to add this as a permanent part of the CompilerDev wiki project.
