If you could write an OS from scratch...

Name: Anonymous 2008-09-03 19:59

Okay, so most every OS out there is C-based.  If you could magically write a complete hardware-controlling OS all the way up to the UI and applications using a different language, which would you choose?

Though I like Lisp, I think I'd have to choose Erlang, maybe NewSqueak for embedded/smaller systems.

i'd write my new OS in something that isn't c, and then require every PC to upgrade to 4G RAM and 5 PROCESSING UNITS.
like .NET or something like that, lol

singularity runs really fast on all the machines i've tested it on.
but of course it's pretty easy to do nothing really fast.

It's just a translation (however complex is it), with macros at best. No stunts pulled behind the scenes. No abstraction capabilities. Thus, not even remotely high-level.

Level: Machine language < assembly < portable assembly (C) < Sepples < Bare Lisp < FIOC < the language I'd implement

Apply for a job at Microsoft. Also, how fast five processing units really are? Five M68020s? Five Opterons?

Back before I had an assembler I used to program machine code on my Commodore 64 with POKE statements READing from DATA lines. Get off my lawn!

Get your nasty cock out of here, Guido.  I'll use SICP scheme version on you - I hear it is very effective.

LoseThos will never have full networking support with an Internet browser, etc.
parentheses optional on calls with no arguments
LoseThos makes speaker noise during disk access on purpose
MAlloc
That's not confusing as fuck.
LoseThos partitions will appear as FAT32 to other operating systems, but will not work.  Do not access them from other operating systems.

It has no networking or Internet support.  As far as I'm concerned, that would be reinventing the wheel and you can do that instead by duel booting another operating system.
