My congratulations!

Since you are an expert, let me ask you the following two questions.

I think it is important to distinguish between the kernel-mode drivers
and user-mode applications. The Unix/Linux design imposes a sharp
boundary between kernel-mode and user-mode programs. (So does Windows.) A
kernel-mode driver is a very different software from a user-mode
application. Therefore we should treat them separately.

1) Is it possible to write and compile kernel-mode programs in
Oberon or Component Pascal? These could be loaded into the kernel with
insmod. Such programs will run at max speed. Interrupt handlers could
be developed this way. What would it take to prepare a framework for this?

2) The other question is user-mode embedded systems like Oberon System or
BlackBox. These are user-mode apps. They are activated every few
milliseconds. They are not real-time. These apps can process buffered
data. They can have a GUI. It would be great if these GUIs could be ran on
embedded CPUs and display the graphics over X-windows. Is it possible to
port one of the GUIs to the embedded environment?
