I can argue with Haskell but I would never argue with teh awesome that is Don Stewart.
Urbit runs on Linux right now - but you're right, it would be very cool to run directly on the hypervisor, and it's totally possible for a self-contained system like this one. Personally I think Haskell never should have tried to be a language for producing Unix system calls - the impedance mismatch between FP and imperative OS is just too great.
- asciilifeform 13y agoI'd go one step further and argue that: no sane language should be a language for producing Unix system calls. The impedance mismatch between sanity and imperative OS (and imperative hardware) is too great.
