[M3devel] Yet Another OS in Modula-3, AVOCA, in x-kernel

[Daniel Alejandro Benavides D.]

Hi all:
I meant that wherever you had that OS, either Acorn, Olivetti was the nest of the best programming language ever (well let's say for its time having in account that they planned it to be ten years ahead of the current use of that systems, say Java 1996), of course followed that it should be  at the front some years ago (2006) and say that some parts were not released as today. 
I see the business model as a consequence of the product not the market place, if it were so, then why they had the politics of something ahead of its time 5 to 10 years, it would be contradictory.
If you want to compare what you some OS companies are trying to do are not near of that, with Hypervisors, etc systems that would need 60 years of work of a man, and you already have that, why do you think they want to do so? 
But the best is still unknown they worked hard in UI toolkits, at Olivetti, collaborative Windowing systems, and that even that wasn't released as well, what does that mean, that nobody used it?
Thanks in advance

Hi all:

But let yet one more time me to say we already the best OS in 80's:

unix?
oh!, Acorn  (never heard of it)





"say we already the best OS in 80's:" => I think you miss the verb there"

And if we care about that thuis thing changes everything, most of this guys ended up in SUN among other companies,
and Acorn is better than the SUN workstations of its time.. because...?

  I know they worked hard in specification of the OS API,  

so I bet you could to

I bet anyone could.
but why would they?what is the motivation?the business model? 

 equal other MicroKernel projects, again if you add up both things the best OS in 80's the best Programming Language in the 1990's and something else yet to be written.
 


Thanks in advance
