The dream isn't dead, a number of people are working on it.
Several live systems are demonstrated in talks on Youtube.
There are several working systems and even a real OS with native device drivers on modern bare hardware.
You can run legacy code under its qemu sandbox, but that is added only to broaden its appeal to customers as this part is not 'live'.
- infinite8s 3y agoSadly the work from the STEPS project seems to have disappeared, especially the Frank software he used in some talks. That looks like it would have been very interesting to play with.
- lproven 3y ago> Sadly the work from the STEPS project seems to have disappeared Unfortunately that phrase -- steps project -- is effectively un-Googleable. Do you have a link at all please?
- morphle 3y agosearch/google "steps alan kay" or watch https://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/video/lecture-putting-turing-to-work.html https://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/video/lecture-putt...
- morphle 3y agoI have most of the Frank/STEPS code still running. I posted a lot about it before on HN. Yes, its a lot of fun to play with it, I invite people to join in the fun. 20.000 Lines of code for almost all of personal computing.
- infinite8s 3y agoThanks, do you have any of it publicly available or would you prefer an email?
- morphle 3y agoNot all is publicly available and most needs recompiling and explanation. I prefer email.
