I'm curious about which programming languages and frameworks I should focus on if I want to develop my own operating system. What are the essential skills and tools I should consider learning?

If you're really looking to develop an OS, you should definitely start with C and maybe sprinkle in some Assembly for low-level operations. Forget about high-level frameworks like Node.js; they're not suitable for OS development. You might want to check out resources like osdev.org to get a solid foundation on the subject.
Remember, there's no single tech stack for building an OS. Different parts require different tools. For instance, parts of modern OSes, like Windows, use a variety of languages, including C and even higher-level languages for certain applications.
Exactly! It's all about the specific needs of the system you're building.
I totally agree! C has been the backbone of many operating systems for a reason. Learning how others have implemented their systems can give you great insights.
