If you don't like Lisp, turns out there's still plenty of interesting old operating systems and languages to mine for alternative technologies to the two kissing cousins we're all more or less stuck with today.
tl;dr?
I skipped most of it, but from what I can tell the main points are:
- Paradigms shift from time to time and when they do a huge part of the stack is thrown away.
- Lisp (or other programming languages) could be developed to make an OS and more.
- The OS could write everything to a disk on shutdown and load all the instructions on boot.
- The OS wouldn't need a filesystem because everything is code.
- The OS code would be smaller and more secure since it only uses one language.
