Thank you for the input!
So for hardware basically a combination of:
MilkyMist - Setup
Arduino - Community
Raspberry Pi - Price
And for software:
Google V8 / Node.js directly on top of *HDL and the rest of the OS
written completely in JavaScript. Could be called "Linux.js" to
utilise a strong brand.
Then it would be as reengineerable and cheap as possible. And most
important for community attention; be written in the most popular
langugage possible.
Thoughts?

Arduino has been such a huge success and I think it would serve the
community well to have a similar setup but with a "real" computer
and coding done in JavaScript (because there are such extreme
amounts of samples and tutorials thanks to it's popularity).
Would you say MilkyMist could be used for that purpose?
A lot of people here are inspired by the energy and culture of the
Arduino community, how they created entry points for people to
rediscover the innards of hardware, how it can be built, customized,
programmed, etc.
The only current instance of Milkymist-specific hardware you can buy
today is the Milkymist One video synthesizer, which sells for 499 USD.
A lot of time is spent to make the hardware and software of Milkymist
One a good starting point for other Milkymist-based products.
We (including you), could definitely branch out the Milkymist One
hardware and make a product or just a board built for a specific
purpose,
such as the Javascript-programmable 'real' computer you have in mind.
Hope this helps as some initial feedback, keep researching and
please let
us know what you find. If you are searching for specific things or
have
specific questions, please just list them all and send here. It's
easiest
to respond to specific questions.
Thanks a lot for stopping by, Cheers,
Wolfgang
