These days I had been surfing a lot and read any technical content that comes to my notice. This morning I was browsing for some interesting sites on operating systems and just happened to end up with this website. http://cliki.tunes.org/index
TUNES is a recursive acronym for TUNES is a Useful, Nevertheless Expedient, System.Based on my understanding of this project, their feeling is that there is a growing gap between the ever-growing hardware potential, and the slowly enhancing software realizations. Their ultimate goal is to rethink how computer systems should be to fill this gap. You can read more about this project here.
What attracted me more about this site are their reviews on the existing systems and methodologies. These include operating systems, programming languages, virtual machines, user interface, methods of reflection and migration.
I was simply amazed by the list of existing operating systems and programming languages they have mentioned. I wonder that such a huge numbers of them exist. It was really an eye-opener to me. To my knowledge, I thought and could number some 6 operating systems and 15 programming languages.
I hope that these pages would be a good reading for anyone.
