Time for another LISP machine, where the OS and the "system language" are the same thing. Base it on Lua and have their wonderful FFI / C interface layer tooling work for you. Or we can admit that the problems have little to do with the hardware and much more to do with how humans conceptualize it; there's plenty of languages out there that "better match the hardware" but they rarely seem to be a better match for the wetware. The endurance of C means that it is a tool whose handle fits well into the squishy brains we hold it with. The machine end of the tool, we've got so many options we can't enumerate them. We've got shit so sharp no one can make it work (VLIW, anyone?) The human side we keep using the same axe handles because thats what fits.
