I have a potentially interesting idea. it might be possible to run native-code SICL under mezzano, with a few extensions

it'd require support for secondary address spaces, along with support for threads running in these address spaces & some kind of communication channel, but I think all that is doable without a huge amount of effort

while this wouldn't be the same as running directly on the hardware, it should be a bit closer than running as a linux process

And it sounds easier than launching SICL by overwriting an SBCL image (which was discussed on SBCL20).

I might try putting together a prototype this weekend, not to run SICL but just some arbitrary code

heisig: I had no idea that anything like this was discussed at SBCL20. Who at SBCL20 would be interested in doing anything like that?

beach: I think Vsevolod Dyomkin and flip214 were involved in the discussion, maybe also Douglas Katzman and Xach ... I cannot recall every detail.

shka_: Hey. Good idea. I hope you will be amused and that you will learn a lot. He also has some associated talks available on YouTube.

somehow reminds me of Asimov writing style, but obviously Asimov was mostly writing fiction

Anyway, I'm going to call it a day, go have dinner and then spend time with my (admittedly small) family.
