Programs: Is it in the goals building and running other C programs directly from Gramado?

G'day to Gramado developers. I've been following this work since it started (I think since 2020, if I'm not mistaken) and I was thinking if it would be possible to build other C programs written to UNIX on it. I haven't looked at the source code and documentation yet, but I'm asking this because I thought about building the Heirloom NG set of utilities on it and see if it can run/the toolset that I maintain is portable enough.

I have some few programs using only the libc. Take a look at the folder gramado/core/commands/ ... you're gonna see some programs using only the libc ... the problem is that this kind of application is printing in a raw mode ... not inside the client area of a terminal window yet, but in the fullscreen ... those are ring3 programs ... stdout is a tty ... when you send data to stdout you're gonna print out in the foreground kernel console.

Yes. it is. The plain is create unix-like commands using the libc and client-side gui apllications using the libgws. Take a look at gramado/core/commands/ and gramado/desktop/apps/. :)

I've took a look at some of the commands and saw a little about the C library. I'd need to study Gramado more before talking anything about the C library, by the way.

I would propose that Gramado had some sort of compatibility with POSIX, but I don't know if "being an UNIX-compatible" is part of the goals of Gramado, so maybe it could be just a "compatibility layer".
