KnowOS (Was: What would a modern LispOS look like?)

Ok, so *nix and C have very good reuse when it comes to libraries. But
that means that the useful functionality needs to be distilled out into
a library. I am imagining that in a Lisp based system would have all
code running in the same image - probably with boundries of seperation.

At the possible cost of sounding like a broken record: This is exactly
how the KnowOS works.

That said (and just to prove that I don't think that KnowOS is Cells
.... i.e., the solution to all known problems :-) let me point out this
solution has significant difficulties as well, esp. in terms of
security and stability (if someone changes one of the tools out from
under you).
