Script OS

Name: Anonymous 2009-01-27 23:00

What if there was an OS built around a scripting language.

The main OS would be an interpreter for this scripting language along with librarys for low level access(like HD and the display) all written in asm so it wouldn't be slowasfuck.  Then the OS runs a script which would be what the user sees, calling the librarys for display, mouse, keyboard, etc.

What's the advantage of this?  You would be able to modify the OS completely to your liking at runtime.  No compiling, no rebooting, just right then and there.

I think there are exactly to kinds of meaningful ways to conversate on the Internet: true anonymity and forcing everyone to use their IRL identity. Using `screen names' or nicks combines the worst of the two worlds: your online persona is not really you, so you can act like an asshole without any responsibility, but you still have kind of an identity to tie your ego to.
