I consider my own Neo Smalltalk project (previously known as Self/R and before that as Merlin OS) to have a lot in common with this one. I also want to have a small, self contained and self described system that can be understood by a single person (which in my case might be an extremely gifted young person and this requires some thought during the design). The self description includes the hardware, so in this regard Neo is a bit more ambitious than Fonc though that makes some things much simpler. A major difference between the two projects (not counting how much there is to download and to read - practically nothing yet, in my case) is that my descriptions are created by direct manipulation of persistent objects while Fonc is about translations between abstraction levels. The latter approach is far, far more powerful but the former is more accessible to a larger group of people by being more concrete. http://www.merlintec.com:8080/software/ http://www;merlintec.com:8080/hardware/ The above Swikis, messed up as they are, have the most recent information about my project. -- Jecel _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list [email protected] http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
