TempleOS is a lightweight, experimental operating system created and maintained primarily by a single developer, Terry A. Davis, between approximately 2003 and 2017.Template:Fn It was designed as a standalone computing environment rather than a general-purpose operating system, with explicit religious, aesthetic, and technical constraints shaping its architecture.Template:Fn
TempleOS combines a custom kernel, an integrated programming language (HolyC), and an intentionally restricted execution and hardware model. It is frequently discussed as a case where an operating system is best understood not only as an engineering artifact, but as a deliberately constrained system with a narrowly defined internal purpose.Template:Fn
