I'm sure you know MS Singularity (http://research.microsoft.com/os/singularity/).
Singularity is something like a kernel (similar to Mach) + a virtual machine (similar to Mono/.NET VM) + a language (similar to C# but with special contract-programming and multithreading features). (Yes, it is much more than this but... ignore that, for the moment). I wonder if anybody has even thought to re-create something like Singularity starting from Mono (or GNU.NET). I mean, something like this: 1) a kernel (Linux, Mach, a "managed code" kernel written in C#, whatever...) 2) the Mono virtual machine (maybe with support for "channels" and other stuff) 3) C# or, much better, a contract-programming enabled version of C# (something like Sing#) 4) Something like a "message passing" system to support concurrent/distributed programming (something like the "channels" used by Singularity) 5) a (minimalistic) set of device driver written in C#. Do anybody thought about this possibility? >From the point of view of Mono, what do you think of Singularity? -- ------------------------ Alessandro Bottoni _______________________________________________ Mono-list maillist - Mono-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-list
