Crush/BRiX: An Experimental Language/OS Pair

An anonymous reader writes: "Brand Huntsman (the creator of the Bochs Front-End, among other obscure things) has been developing an integrated language/operating system for the past few years now. The Operating System is called BRiX, and it uses a language called Crush, which is woven tightly into the core of the OS. On his project web page he has posted the source code to his preliminary compiler, which runs in Linux and outputs optimized assembly from Crush source code. The Crush language itself is heavily influenced by Forth, LISP, and Ada, and provides strong typing and extensive namespace security."

As the project homepage linked from the article seems slashdotted already, you might want to browse to the homepage at sourceforge:

"BRiX, like many other operating systems, provides features such as SMP, preemptive multithreading, virtual memory, a secure multiuser environment and an easy to use graphical interface. How it does this and the end result make it very much unlike any existing operating systems. BRiX is a computing environment and not an operating system. It is a combination of operating system and applications all-in-one. "
