I do not mind using FASM, but I'd like to also have a higher level environment...

Also wondering how this would behave on bare metal.

From the page:

> Menuet's application structure isn't specifically reserved for asm programming since the header can be produced with practically any other language. However, the overall application programming design is intended for 64/32 bit asm programming.

Yes, but you can wrap MenuetOS system calls with anything (that allows inline assembly).

I was thinking that it is possible to use PureBasic - which produces FASM .asm files as intermediate - to have some comfortable high-level environment to build applications for MenuetOS... But many wanted benefits are not kept (e.g. dimensioning an array calls an external subroutine - it is not translated into assembly). From string manipulation to hashmaps, a library should be built to comfortably code for MenuetOS.

Edit: KolibriOS seems to document more options ( http://diamond.kolibrios.org/hll/hll_eng.htm )
