PowerNex is a microkernel operating system written entirely in the Nim programming language. Designed as a learning and research project, it explores OS development using a modern high-level systems language while still offering low-level control. PowerNex focuses on modularity, simplicity, and code clarity. While still in its early stages, the project includes basic kernel functionality, including memory management, task switching, and a custom bootloader, offering insight into building an OS from the ground up using newer programming paradigms.
