Snakeware – Linux distro with Python userspace inspired by Commodore 64
This is exceedingly cool. It could be a modern-day Lisp Machine that takes advantage of the Linux kernel&#x27;s great hardware support. Since Python is such a dynamic language, I&#x27;d be interested in how they plan to allow the Python processes to communicate. This would be a great opportunity to avoid the classic Unix mistake of using text files as the lowest common denominator everywhere; a structured data format like S-expressions could be passed around instead.<p>Edit: Other languages I&#x27;m thinking of for this idea:<p>* Lua or LuaJIT (even more dynamic and really great performance; smaller and somewhat fragmented ecosystem)<p>* Scheme (potentially also fast and good S-expression support, also very dynamic; small and very fragmented ecosystem)
