What is the fuzz? We don't need x86 and C++ anymore?

But Lisp so powerful that it can be extended to any programming language. So we have the right to say that any program is/was/will be written in Lisp. So there is no OS except Lisp OS. Because all components of any OS is written in Lisp.

1. Lisp presupposes heavy use lambda calculus and minimizing shared state.
2. GCC and JavaScript dont give access to compiler and writing a code generator could be cumber-some, especially because you have to write you own type inference engine in case of C++

Lel. What do you mean? Any PL is "heavy using lambda calculus" if it supports first-class functions.

Most get away with mutable data structures.

I'm keep wondering with integers are still immutable and you can't change some bits of say 123, modifying every reference to it.

Smalltalk had mutable integers.

Java's bignums are mutable.

Chrome OS, Firefox OS... since when are web browsers suitable to be OS substitutes? Browser-based everything considered harmful.

On Monday, I tried to upgrade Firefox from version 21 to version 22. It hung on the final ld stage and then crashed. According to the kernel log, it had grabbed all my core and had been killed.

I posted a query on the Crux mailing list and received an answer today. According to this, building Firefox takes 4-6 GB! I am disgusted!

Indeed, and Puppy Linux is only 165.3M!

But Lisp is also not pure functional. Or what do you mean?

Clojure?

Firefox is bloatware!
Because stupid JS developers write code which requires a lot of resources. It is also Adobe flash's fault.
If you use noscript+adblock+flashblock, everything is fine.

The only thing I like about Chrome/Chromium over Firefox is using one process per tab. In Firefox, if one tab hangs up, your whole browser is fucked.

Clojure is just a java tricky lib. It's not a programming language. Also it has the syntax that is far beyond sexprs, so it's not s Lisp.

But it's not true. The shit cunningly uses one process per the some amount of tabs.

I wouldn't know, I don't even use Chrome/Chromium. But even so, that's still better than only having 2 processes: firefox and plugin-container.

Actually, it is because of C/C++ templates, which expand into 6GB during compilation and produce enormous executable, destroying processor cashes.

It all could have been fixed with simple JIT compilation, inlining only require parts.
