Isn't a cool mix the functional approach of Guile and the modular one

What I think would be easier to do is embed Scheme inside an OS kernel....
With the Hurd you reduce the scope of what is the kernel, so Scheme can
do lots of jobs usually reserved for lower-level languages. You could
for example write your complete filesystem or networking layer in
Scheme.
FWIW, some time ago I wrote a version of "top" for the Hurd (it didn't
have one) using Guile (1.3 maybe?) and libps. It may be possible to find
it with some searching (not tried).
