I don't think it will be easy at all. A LispOS means an OS that
is totally integrated with the language. It may well be possible,
but I don't believe it will be easy to do properly. Half of the
"kernel" (or whatever we call it), will be running in that
language, and unlike a UNIX kernel, there won't be a very small
set of kernel calls. Everything will be integrated from top to
bottom.
