PilMCU is an implementation of 64-bit PicoLisp directly in hardware. A truly minimalistic system. PicoLisp is both the machine language and the operating system:
* Memory management is trivial, just the Lisp heap and the stack
* The built-in database is extended to hold a "file system"
* One SSD per database file for mass storage
* "Processes" run as tasks and coroutines
* Events (timing and interrupts) via a 'wait' instruction
* Complex I/O protocols are delegated to peripheral chips

Wow. If they can make it into a single board computer like the Raspberry Pi and if they can make it as affordable as the RPi, I'd love to buy a few of them. I'd even translate a few hardware drivers from C/Linux into this Lisp system.
