Comment on Why not port the Linux kernel to Common Lisp? (2009)parent

This seems like a perfectly reasonable reaction :-)

I would add: if someone really _did_ do all the work to write a whole modern operating system in Lisp, it would be criminally unimaginative to use the Linux ABI as your interface to the world.

You would have to write your own userspace too for the whole enterprise to be worth bothering with. And then you have basically written SqueakNOS (http://squeaknos.blogspot.ch). :-)
