You seem to be implying that what I wrote is trying to be perfect for everything, which is a complete opposite of what I think I wrote about. C may be used for everything today, but that does not mean a "C replacement" should be similarly misused. Right now I consider only the bottom of the stack -- kernel, drivers and servers around it. Stuff that should be able to run with minimum support code and as much provable correctness as you can get. As for doing anything and everything, I would prefer a single core language with independent domain-specific extensions, than a separate incompatible language for every single piece of the system. -- Jirka Z.
