I would love to see architecture and comparison to other kernels described!

Also, I wonder if this can be made to run on Cortex M4 with "MPU" but not "MMU" hardware? Something to run on the Teensy 3.6 would be interesting.

BTW: Binary compatible function driver interfaces are great! They served us well on BeOS. The Linux "recompile everything under the sun" approach really gets in the way for many real world situations.

Finally, I'm sick and tired of POSIX I/O. It's a really old model, and a really bad match to modern hardware and use cases. Someone needs to develop and popularize the callback/messaging based kernel/application interface of the future, complete with something other than the main() entry point...

How do you feel about kqueue or I/O completion ports? Are those something like the "interface of the future", or just greasing the old machinery?
