  So I'm new to Nim and OS development. The nimkernel seems exciting... https://github.com/dom96/nimkernel

  Though I would like to know...

  1. how can I handle keyboard input?
  2. how to do some networking with it?

  I think the "kernel" is more or less a proof of concept / experiment. If you find it Interesting: play with it! I can imagine dom96 is open for pr's.

  Alright, thanks.

  But is it recommended to use nim for stuff like that? (since I haven't seen any other kernel on internet...most of them use C or Rust)

  But is it recommended

  What is your intent?

  You may convert the Oberon-OS to Nim for example -- Wirth and Gutknecht wrote it mostly in one summer...
