* The interface used on Star Trek TNG / Deep Space 9 / Voyager computers.

Seeing that, I have to try the OS just for fun.

Interesting projects like this is why I visit OSnews.

Now, all we need here is a little touch screen support and some "Engage" button...

This reminds me of "House", the OS written in Haskell - here's a link to that -

There's also Kinetic - another Haskell-based OS -

I've wondered in the past if it would be possible to write an OS in Python or Ruby. Given that it is possible in Haskell, I'd imagine the answer would be "yes". I'd love to see someone do it!

Basically, a micro kernel with languages based protection. Tue, 09 Jun 2009 12:12:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (happe) Comments
