I have a friend who teaches Common Lisp programming at Columbia University and he wrote a virtual Operating System in Lisp for his courses. These pseudo OS environments are useful for learning and allowing 'safe' modification of the OS without getting into the murky deails of C but ultimately they all need a real OS underneath to talk to the hardware.
