Everyone knows time travel requires a vessel that is larger on the inside than outside. If its exterior resembles a British police call box with a flashing light, so much the better.
Are there any BCPL programmers left? I spent several years in the mid-80's, writing embedded applications for 6502-based PCs (rack-mount BBC Microcomputers, if you can believe such a thing) using a DOS-based cross-compiler targetting a interpreted virtual machine on the 6502 (shades of Java - nothing is new!). The language is a bit odd (TEST.. THEN.. OR) but I still have a soft spot for it.

Lego do have a software Lego - I forget the name at the moment but it does exist (at least, I bought one in the UK about 2 yrs ago).
No. They are two completely independent things.
Presumably putting the web server into the kernel makes it faster by reducing the context switching between kernel and user mode.
A Ram disk is fast because it emulates a disk while removing those mechanical components that take so long to respond.
High tech! Our VM technology allowed in-situ execution in sideways ROMS with transparent page switching... those were the days.
