The operating system is in a single file. This makes it easy to transfer it to different devices, backup and control damage or modification.
os.void
The operating system contains viewing and editing media and office files, working with the file system, web browser, social network client and server, network load balancing, interfacing with peripherals, virtualization tools, AI helper, creating applications and 3D・2D・VN games.
Each application can run in a separate isolated space, with a limited set of actions, or in a separate virtual machine, so that no data corruption or stealing occurs.
An Operating System with V O I D lang that can run on retro computers.

The operating system can be written using Assembly and C++ languages. Or the direct use of opcodes.
.org $c000 ; Starting address of the program
start lda #<message ; Load message address
sta $07f8 ; Set string output address
lda #>message
sta $07f9
lda #13 ; Select color (text white, background black)
jsr $e544 ; Calling system function
loop lda message,x ; Load character from string
beq done ; If the character is null, terminate
jsr $e716 ; Output the character to the screen
inx ; Increase string index
bne loop ; Go to next character
done rts ; Return from the program
message .byte "Hi World :D", 0 ; Message string
The first computers were just advanced calculators. To operate such a calculator, the Operating System was a programming language. Thus the IBM 5100 operating system was represented by two languages BASIC and APL (for working with matrix and other scientific calculations).
Retroinformática: IBM 5100 (1975)
Later operating systems extended their file handling functionality. Unix, CP/M, DOS were simplified versions of programming languages for working with the file system.
And even later, with the appearance of multitasking operating systems, applications began to use operating system API calls to access devices and display user interface (UI).
Computer technology is continually evolving.

Now it has come to the point where applications can be created in simple descriptive language V O I D lang, and all the complex functionality residing directly in the V O I D os.
⌜ V O I D lang ⌟ is the language for rapidly creating applications in the V O I D or JSON format. It is used as a replacement for both the standard Bash/CMD/etc. languages and for writing UI Applications, Servers and Games. The language uses one of the languages already preinstalled in the system. So you don't need to install anything else. Code and data are not separated. So the whole application fits in one V O I D or JSON file. Since the code is presented as data, applications can be easily generated with AI, updated, installed and launched remotely.
⌜V O I D⌟ is not only about compact technologies, but also an ideology that shows where these technologies are taking us.
