|Suppose my company were interested in developing LispOS in
|this manner:
| Native i386 code,
| no underlying unix (lisp down to the metal),
| start with Scheme as basis language,
| design with support for persistent object system,
| implementation tools running on '95/NT,
| free software.
|
|How many people would be interested in actually investing
|time and energy on this? If there is a critical mass, I'll
|start the project.
I would certainly go for it. Now I just have to buy a used machine I'm not
afraid to trash periodically!
