An article on Slashdot reads
(http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/18/2053259)
"Brand Huntsman (the creator of the Bochs Front-End, among other obscure
things) has been developing an integrated language/operating system for
the past few years now. The Operating System is called BRiX, and it uses
a language called Crush, which is woven tightly into the core of the OS.
On his project web page (http://brix-os.sf.net) he has posted the source
code (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/brix-os/crush) to
his preliminary compiler, which runs in Linux and outputs optimized
assembly from Crush source code. The Crush language itself is heavily
influenced by Forth, LISP, and Ada, and provides strong typing and
extensive namespace security."
An interesting quote from the FAQ on his site is
"BRiX, unlike other modern operating systems, does not use hardware to
isolate and protect applications from each other. Instead, it uses a
single address space and relies on a safe-language to generate code that
will not access memory for which it does not own. This language also
handles many checks at compile-time that would be performed at run-time
in other operating systems."
What effect might this have on the development of AdaOS? Competition?
Inspiration? It seems to have several of the same goals in mind.
