<h1>The Evosaur Project</h1>
<p>
<!--TODO: Yeah, we need to write something real in here sometime...-->
The Evosaur Project intends to be a parent metaproject for alternatives to modern computing, including but not limited to the fields of CPU architectures, operating systems, networking protocols, and userspace programs.
</p>
<p>
<small>
(Everything here is work-in-progress.)

<h2>Philosophy</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Do what the programmer writes. For example, the compiler MUST NOT do GCC-style optimizations such as replacing <code>printf("Hello, world!\n")</code> with <code>puts("Hello, world!")</code> (C example, we'll use our own language when that happens). However, as humans often make mistakes (i.e. it is rarely wanted to use <code>printf</code> instead of <code>puts</code> for printing a single string), linters SHOULD be able to detect that (and more subtle issues like double-free, use-after-free, potential buffer overflows, etc) and offer alternatives. But in no circumstance should the computer do differently than told.
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Thoughts</h2>
<p>
These are incomplete (as in not complete enough to be in a specification of any kind) thoughts that we had.
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<a href="/thought/unix-philosophy-confusing">The ``UNIX Philosophy'' is Confusing</a>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Licensing</h2>
<p>
Unlike most of <a href="https://www.andrewyu.org/">Andrew</a> and <a href="https://users.andrewyu.org/~hax/">Test_User</a>'s Websites, this Website conveys new ideas that may be fundemental to future computing, thus ruling out Public Domain as a ``licensing'' option. Some type of copyleft will be used but we can't decide which specifically for now. Until then, please contact <code>evosaur AT andrewyu DOT org</code> for permission to use. (Basically: For now, all rights reserved.)

<h2>Community</h2>
<ul>
<li>
Mailing list: <code>evosaur AT andrewyu DOT org</code>
</li>
<li>
Internet relay chat: <code>#evosaur</code> on <code>irc.andrewyu.org</code> port <code>6697</code> (with TLS)
