@lanodan @cwebber Did you know that #OpenGenera had a #C and an #Ada compiler (among others)?

You don't need to rewrite the drivers, you can just implement a shim (with error handling) so they can run on top of the system in their little isolated bubble like the #rumpkernel idea was about.

You do need those bits in some specific areas, but you can tightly constrain access to them to very specific modules & threads.

Erlang's message-passing approach isn't required for condition handling.

@abortretryfail It has a certain lack of interactivity as a command line-oriented shell that stunts its potential.

If like #Emacs or the #LispMachine #Lisp listener (#OpenGenera videos on youtube demonstrate it) one could just open up & inspect objects and functions to look at their structure and methods/inputs/returns, it would make working with it so much more pleasant.

But my feeling is that Microsoft doesn't like command shells in general and has no interest in #InteractiveProgramming.

@onf @devlogic There is an emulator for Linux and a guide for setting it up. Also a container.

But I tried it and it didn't work, idk why. But it worked for others, there are videos of it in the #OpenGenera tag.
