Rust Unix-like OS Implementation
-- Some thoughts about maybe building a language that can be compiled to. Rust's MIR RFC could be a potential target, which is able to encapsulate the desired performance I'm after, and allowing me to design the syntax however I want, in say LISP. I could use this to build a scripting language that I want! (maybe in a shell too!).
