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

The Antiportable language

Because what kind of loser would want to write software that can run on any operating system? And what idiot end user would want an OS that could run software written in any language?

Platform independence is overrated anyway. Proprietary is the way to go!!!
