Hi Rick, > > PilOS is complete so far
Well, to be honest, not completely complete. The most interesting part is still missing, but that's not an OS-issue, but a matter of PicoLisp internals: Parallelize parts of the interpreter to employ multiple CPU cores. First will be the garbage collector. > What could PilOS be used for? On a PC it doesn't make much sense. There it is easier to build a bootable stick with Linux, e.g. with the Debian 'live-build' package. What I'm targeting for are high-end embedded systems (in the far future), with multi-core 64-bit CPUs, and perhaps lots of such machines (each with their local database) connected in a network. And also for tablets (for my own use, text-only without graphics). > Does it have any way of communicating with the outside world? Not currently, except for the USB-Stick. A dedicated/embedded system would simply use network-hardware. More infos at: http://picolisp.com/wiki/?PilOS ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
