Re: Curiosity: Microkernel implemented in Guile ?

[pukkamustard]

As mentioned, Scheme lacks various things that you might need to
implement a bare-metal microkernel (for example manual memory
management).

There is PreScheme
(https://thintz.com/resources/prescheme-documentation) - a low-level
dialect of Scheme that gives you the necessary primitives. PreScheme can
be run from Scheme (see
https://thintz.com/resources/prescheme-documentation#Running-Pre_002dScheme-as-Scheme)
by emulating lower-levels. This allows you to hack on low-level code
directly from the REPL.

You might also be interested in the 3L project (https://3lproject.org/)
that did some work towards using PreScheme for bare-metal programming.
