L4 clone. Mach has had its day. It supposedly was not a very good
microkernel either. All the interesting developments in microkernels
happened after mach was released :-)

The L4 approach is to write at least the core kernel in assembly
language and then use a high level language to create the rest of the
system. That may limit the kind of hardware on which your kernel might
run on. That need not be a disadvantage if you target SMP boards. Being
SMP ready out of the box would be cool.

BTW It might be useful to use a BSD license for such a project. That way
you can graft on one of the BSD kernels onto the microkernel. And you
might have a fair chance of attracting developers.


Greetings,
