Butler Virtual Operating System
This is great. This is actually fairly similar to something I've been thinking about doing for some time, so I have a few comments to make!For a previous job I wrote a miniature/lightweight "actor system" with haskell threads and STM. Basically, each actor was represented by a thread, threads operated in a loop (like erlang actors), and threads had mailboxes implemented via STM primitives. It worked like a dream, and I've been wanting to write up a blog post about it for a good while now, but alas, there is always something else that needs to be done.There is an idea that's been floating around in my head for some time now. I want to expose Unix ideas to the web era. If a "shell" were built to expose a lot of these things via the web (of course, only to authorized users), I could see an explosion in creativity.This leads into the next thing, enabling people to have their own, independent servers. This is a massive topic, but basically, I'd like to see more ideas like sandstorm.io or cloudron.io take off.I may be looking at this project as a place to start for my own code, and/or inspiration! Thanks.
