Take a look at
http://www.adaos.org/ for something
different. Of course
you'd better like Ada, and it's only in the design stages as far as I can
I'm just reading through this thread. How about CLOS?
"Common Lisp Operating System" IIRC. A topic in 1989 or so.
P.S. <rave> The error messaging for the DEC Vax Ada compiler
was simply the best designed and constructed compiler software
I've ever seen. It was a complex language and DEC knew it Well.
Errors resulted in an opportunity for (the compiler) to re-train you
on the finer points of the language. Too bad the Reaganomics
(read: DOD) revolution didn't last.</rave>
