Hi everyone - I'm very much a Haskell newbie, but have followed Haskell (and the various Haskell sites) for quite a few months now, and I absolutely *love* the language. One thing that **fascinated** me a while ago was the site which gave Haskell code for a "Haskell-based fileserver/OS" using zippers (the URI follows) - http://okmij.org/ftp/Computation/Continuations.html#zipper That code looks amazing! So, I was thinking - would it *actually be (theoretically) possible* to create a "real" booting OS (a bit like "House") from the above code? By a "real" OS, I mean something that uses (say) GRUB, and at least has a command-line of some kind. ( A GUI could come later ... ). I think that a "Plan 9-ish" OS (with all its "namespace/URL stuff, and its network-centric approach) would seem to be *particularly well suited* to being done using Haskell. ( I have to say that I love Plan 9's elegance, but I just *can't* manage its controls/GUI, they have me flummoxed ... ) If it were possible, I would *love* to see it - I've actually seriously considered even coughing up say $100 to $200 or so for a contest to create such a thing.... Anyway, "first things first" :-) - is such an OS possible? Many thanks for your time - bye for now - - Andy
