My reply wasn't.
Not because I was offended, but rather because I am a professional scientist, and because veritas odit moras :)

Incidentally, kindness -- as any emotion -- is incompatible with objectivity.
Although there are times of course when it is more effective to be kind than to be objective.

My gut feeling is, Bluebottle is a little too experimental.
Off the cuff, I'd try something stupider, very roughly as follows:

a simplified multitasking Linux kernel (at least enough code borrowed from Linux to justify mentioning Linux),
a simplified (Bluebottle?) graphics system,
a BlackBox-like thing running in every task with a separate address space,
a TCP/IP-like message bus to allow different BlackBoxes to communicate.

All (re)written in any flavor of Oberon of course.
And not a single smart or cute feature anywhere.

cheers
