Thanks - I doubt it will happen any time soon (or at all), but it is always something on the back of my mind. I'd be willing to work around existing hardware potentially. Primarily I would be interested in creating a really simple, elegant OS/IDE/compiler/language/etc - even if that means limiting it to one set of hardware (I am totally a custom-built PC guy, but console-ish devices have their virtues). I'd really like to bring back CPU-based graphics programming (even if the means to it is GPU-style parallel architecture).

> even if that means limiting it to one set of hardware Or starting off optimized for one set of hardware as a baseline and go from there.

Sounds promising. To be honest, though it might not be what you had in mind, what you said reminded me of Oberon (the programming language and the OS): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(programming_language) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberon_(programming_language) It even works on FPGAs, so that could help with the custom hardware part of a reboot too. :-)
