Crush/BRiX: An Experimental Language/OS Pair

Posted by timothy on from the because-he-wanted-to-alright dept.

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." Update: 08/19 00:03 GMT by T : Note, the project page URL has been updated, hope it now works for everyone :)

    Perusing the compiler source... "lambda."

    Quoting one of the greatest movies of all time: "You keep using that word. I dunna think it means-ah what you think it means."
