Definitely in the "they didn't stop to think if they should" category.

They probably did, and just determined that it would be fun.

The other week I had a fun project to implement IPv6 support in TempleOS. I did stop to think whether I should, and determined that absolutely not.

I asked Claude to start planning on doing it. It started referencing ZealOS, which is a fork of TempleOS and already has a functioning TCP stack.

That's when I determined that it would no longer even be fun, because someone else had already done all the heavy lifting, and gave up.

  • wasn't a lack of networking what made it a temple, untouched by the influences of the corrupt internet or something like that? idk I'm not like a Terry Davis scholar by any means but I always figured he did that limitation with some kind of reason in mind

    • Me and some friends of mine thought it would simply be funny if we gave the temple just IPv6 (no v4) support.
