I've launched an emulator for working on OS/Programs at the link in the first post. While the UI is a work-in-progress, with this "working" I should be able to start on a proper OS to use with the architecture. If anyone ends up using it, let me know how it turned out.

It currently uses Mozilla's Rhino engine. Most ES5 features are supported, but for a complete list of features, check http://mozilla.github.io/rhino/compat/engines.html

Just released version 0.5. Now with Callbacks! Turns out Rhino's continuations cause quite a few things to be broken, so now computer.invoke is handled with callbacks and an event loop. Check out the wiki for more info.

I've started back up on working on this in my spare time. Should have another, better working, alpha soon. I'll update the first post with more information.

Yes, that is correct. I haven't done much work to make any ram/cpu limitations. I wanted to have a working OS first, but life has gotten in the way. I should have more time to work on this around December.

Documentation now in the post. Checkout the wiki. Good point. Unfortunately, the lack of documentation extends from the lack of implementation. http://ocdoc.cil.li/tutorial:custom_oses should be a good place to start, since that provides the grounds for OS creation, but otherwise, the only real difference from, say Node.js, is the inclusion of the components object, and the computer object. I'll be sure to post a link to better documentation when I get around to making it.

Gmail is reporting that emails from cil.li are being blocked due to not passing bulk email validation per https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126#authentication Discovered this when registering. Seems it might prevent some registrants from understanding why they didn't get the email.

EDIT 2: I've opened a Patreon at https://patreon.com/mrmakeit where I'll post updates. I'll try and cross reference those updates here as well, but I do suggest checking it out as I'll have other stuff there as well. The Open Computers JavaScript arch!
