This is someone's master thesis from 1998 Here is an abstract for those who don't want to download the full PDF In this paper I describe the design, implementation, and features of ML/OS, an operating system with an embedded ML compiler. ML/OS supports a continuation-based thread model of concurrency with non-blocking, interrupt-driven input/output. By embedding the ML compiler into the operating system, ML/OS attempts to eliminate levels of abstraction that are present in traditional interactions between compilers and operating systems. By using a continuation-based scheduler, I demonstrate the use of advanced programming language features such as continuations and type safety in system-level programming.
