This is one strong argument against porting Lunix to Pascal, isn't it?
Porting means sort of translating old design flaws to another language.

It has happened in the past. There has been OS/2 for example, with it's
superior OO design. RIP.

There have been many OSses with new appealing features, BEOS coming to
my mind.

And there have been some people starting to write an OS in pascal, but
I've never heard of something coming out as ... say at least an alpha
version or some sort of prototype.

SCNR,
Marc
