> Out of curiosity, what is this new microkernel name ? Xavier, it is Coyotos, http://www.coyotos.org/, being created by Jonathan S. Shapiro who already delivered two successful projects (microkernels), one of them was EROS, http://www.eros-os.org/ . One of his articles about Coyotos is excellent piece of information for OS programmers: http://www.coyotos.org/docs/osverify-2004/osverify-2004.html Even he is creating a new language, BitC, the dual combination of Lisp and C. He said he will bend his language according to the design of his micorkernel rather than doing it other way around. BitC is being specially designed for Coyotos: http://www.bitc-lang.org/index.html this is some BitC code. I Love it :) (define (make-counter) (let ((n 0)) (lambda () (set! n (+ n 1)) (- n 1)))) Actually, I am fan of Common Lisp, may be that's why, I liked this code, Lots of Parenthesis :) (I guess, most corporate people change their OS specification according to the limitations of the language. Ti give an example, take NOKIA 6630, which has lots of limitations on its functions and way of working, which they tried to overcome in their other handsets) -- http://arnuld.vox.com/ _______________________________________________ Web-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/web-hurd
