Ask HN: Is there a FOSS implementation of Apple's Newton OS?
Were there any attempts (successful or not) to implement a free and open version of the Newton's operating system? The only relevant pieces I've found are OpenDylan and Einstein. Newton OS is a very interesting kind of operating system (in some aspects it is, in my opinion, even better than the Apple's current mobile OS) and it certainly deserves to be preserved and maintained.
- erikj 13y agoI've just found GNUton (http://gnuton.sourceforge.net/ http://gnuton.sourceforge.net/), an implementation in Python instead of NewtonScript, but it seems to be long-abandoned since 2000. I hope newer and less dead efforts still exist.
