       *sigh* i mean, i get why every new kernel released by anyone is POSIX compliant and can compile all their favourite programs. recreating the corpus of software everyone relies on these days, especially for internet connectivity, is a literally terrifying prospect. and of course computers are useless without internet connectivity, aren't they? ;-) but it's killed the field of OS research - especially hobby OS research - stone dead. nobody's doing anything that departs from the "kernel in C implementing POSIX" model, even though literally every other seam is all but untapped.froggey's Mezzano is an honourable exception, and one i really need to install on a respectable machine - it's just, i also need to learn Common Lisp and emacs, and that's a lot, all at once! but if it can work well on one of the (um, ten) Wyse 3040s i ended up with, then i might well have a permanent little ersatz Lisp machine in the corner
