Hi,
I just want to know if is there an interpreted linux distro. I'm
refering to have all libraries, programs, etc as interpreted and not
as compiled binaries. Exception is kernel and some libs (libc perhaps)
but the rest is possible to be interpreted disto.
They all are. The programs are all written in terms of 1 and 0s and the
processor interprets these to perform specific action ( copying bytes,
performing IO etc)
Just what kind of "interpreter" did you want? And why. Recall that if the
language being interpreted is not the native processor language, every
instruction will require 5 or 25 or 500 instructions to interpret. Ie, very
very very slow. Why would anyone want a slow operating system?

Thanks,
Xan.


Interpreted language means for me python, ruby, perl, etc.
I hear in [http://video.google.com/videoplay?
docid=236331448076587879&q=haiku&total=1595&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0]
that Haiku guys thinked to code Haiku in python but they choose C++
instead.

Do you know some OSes programed in interepreted language?
Is there factible to write micro-OS (I thinked in OS like Minix 2) in
python, etc?

Thanks for all your feed-back
Xan

yawn. here we go again.
NO. Now shut up and stop posting the same silly question every 4 weeks.
