You could probably wedge an OS kernel written in elisp in emacs at the expense of a 5% growth in code size.

No worries, thanks for sharing!

Very cool! Nicely written too, I appreciate the technical depth and examples.

If you like Linux distributions/systems with an emphasis on a single language and custom init systems, I’d encourage you to take a peek at GUIX. It has an init system written in scheme called shepherd.

I’d say, per your definition which I agree with BTW, GUIX falls on the distribution side of things.

Lol, can’t view it in Jerboa

Nice to see a Guix mention! It’s in flux but I appreciate it’s motivation and the hard work being done. One language, kernel agnostic, functional to the core. It’s gained some traction with the reproducible research builds crowd. It always makes me think of The Rise of Worse is Better.
