I would love one of these, but with Lua as the language instead. Its quite possible with something like LOAD81, from antirez[1] - but I guess I'd love to see a full-blown desktop OS with Lua at the core, and not much else. I guess booting directly to a tekui[2] based editor would be nice, too.
Something about having a clean boot to a single-language environment which appeals to me more and more as the decades go by.

- kohtatsu 6y agoSeconded. Also check out ComputerCraft. I'd love a club for this kind of thing.
- fullstop 6y agoI loved ComputerCraft, but was kind of sad that the source was closed. It fell off of my radar until today, but I'm happy to see that it is now open source!
- Seirdy 6y agoCheck out the (sadly inactive) Node9 operating system [0]. > Node9 is a hosted 64-bit operating system based on Bell Lab's Inferno OS, but using the Lua scripting language instead of Limbo and the LuaJIT high performance virtual machine instead of the Dis virtual machine. It also uses the libuv I/O library for maximum portability, efficient event processing and thread management. [0]: https://github.com/jvburnes/node9 https://github.com/jvburnes/node9
- fit2rule 6y agoAh yes, that is nice - thanks for the info. So many interesting things using Lua ..
- igravious 6y agoSame, but with Ruby … Actually had this idea years ago and toyed with hacking a ruby user space atop of Linux From Scratch – course I never went anywhere with the idea. Delighted someone's done it for python. Be cool if there was a Ruby version of snakeware :)
