DISCLAIMER: These notes are from the defunct k8 project which precedes SquirrelJME. The notes for SquirrelJME start on 2016/02/26! The k8 project was effectively a Java SE 8 operating system and as such all of the notes are in the context of that scope. That project is no longer my goal as SquirrelJME is the spiritual successor to it.

I believe for a file system I will use btrfs rather than inventing my own. It supports the features I would like. The only issue is NFSv4 ACLs, btrfs uses POSIX which is not as good.

I have code assembled into a huge chunk of code now. However it does not appear that it is correct at all.

Most likely it is my chunk printing code not handling values below 16 by adding an extra zero.

I suppose it also starts with a cultural reference to 90210 which is some ZIP code. As an optimization I currently have values being returned when a call from throw completes, that could potentially be removed.

I could add stack caching, but that would complicate things for now. An idea I have for KBF is to have a multi-part KBF which contains many classes which share a global constant pool, code references, and potentially code bytes. This would at least make it so the kernel is not hyper-bloated when it is all linked together.
