&gt; Amen to that. Mirrors exactly my thinking. OS design is a good

Utterly serious suggestion:

  Start with the kernel for a very light weight pre-emptive OS (one
of the microkernel designs or Sys7-style small systems) and then
build from there, replacing the filesystem with a transparent DB
structure, the shell with a world-view, and then have more classical
"shells" and scripting languages as child programs from there.

BTW:  This is a moderately accurate description of Shades in its
early days.
