ChrysaLisp GUI Demo [video]

Inspired by the TaOS Virtual Processor[0]:

"ChrysaLisp is a 64-bit, MIMD, multi-CPU, multi-threaded, multi-core, multi-user parallel operating system with features such as a GUI, terminal, OO Assembler, class libraries, C-Script compiler, Lisp interpreter, debugger, profiler, vector font engine, and more. It supports MacOS, Windows, and Linux for x64, Riscv64 and Arm64 and eventually will move to bare metal. It also allows the modeling of various network topologies and the use of ChrysaLib hub_nodes to join heterogeneous host networks. It has a virtual CPU instruction set and a powerful object and class system for the assembler and high-level languages. It has function-level dynamic binding and loading and a command terminal with a familiar interface for pipe-style command line applications. A Common Lisp-like interpreter is also provided."[1]

Impressive demo. Runs on MacOS, Linux [edit: not Windows? edit3: yes, Windows] can also run on an emulated machine. Project link [1]; commits go back 10 years.

[edit:] Plenty of unusual, sophisticated architecture. Multi-thread/-CPU/-computer mesh. Assembly-level object system. "Register juggling for parameter passing is eliminated by having all functions define their register interface and parameter source and destinations are mapped automatically using a topological sort. None DAG mappings are detected so the user can break them with a temporary if required."

[edit 2:] Curse you, I've got other stuff I should be doing.

I like how this can run atop other OSes while being self-contained. I've been increasingly desiring to have a personal computing platform that's capable of performing general computing tasks while being portable to any system I may be using. Something like this, but with a few GUI frontends optimized for different form-factors, plus a web browser, and you'd be 90% of the way there.

Definitely going to try it out! Any show-stoppers that would cause issues?

Somehow it gives me TempleOS vibes.
