If I had my way you'd be able to define new kernel modules by downloading a few lines of PostScript. ;) Ok, JavaScript these days. But you know what I mean.

I think spectre killed any future attempt to run sandboxed untrusted code in a previleged domain.
postscript is the cutest language i have ever learnt. I'd love to be able to use it more.
It's essentially RPN Lisp (with dynamic binding, via the dictionary stack). NeWS had an OOP package that used the dict stack to implement a very Smalltalk-like object system with multiple inheritance, which could dynamically define methods and properties in objects and classes, etc.
May I ask if there are experimental systems today that take inspiration from NeWS? You've blogged about OpenLaszlo, but this too is now quite old (and dead).
