One of my mottos is
"laziness is mother of intelligence; the father is unknown".
Perhaps if I knew the father, things would be better off...

Well, any existing system could be considered a base:
RScheme, GUILE, OCaml, CMUCL, some Forth interpreter, some Microkernel, etc.
The problem is that we do not even have a clear direction, or any
management. I admit I don't personally even have working self-management.
We know the immediate start: scratch. We know the far goal: a rich reflective
system. We have no idea for the way to go, or even the first step.
I don't dare; I'm inhibited.
