Re^2: Anyone interested in coding a _real

The nice thing about using an exokernel is that one doesn't necessarily have to make a hard and fast choice between languages or environments. I like the PerlOS idea because I think that Perl is a good language and environment to run systems code with, much better than Java/JNode because of its excellent language foundation and huge existing Perl codebase on CPAN.

I think that Perl is ... much better than Java/JNode ... huge existing Perl codebase on CPAN. If you cannot see that using JNode to underpin a 'Perl shell view' of the Virtual OS you are going to emulate, in no way restricts you from the Perl syntax or the Pure perl modules on CPAN, then you probably aren't the right person to go about implementing your idea. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.	[reply]
