Hope we get a lot more discussion on this. I don't like the idea of standardizing on a particular language, however. I think the "virtual machine" should be defined at a lower lever, and should perhaps be restricted to I/O driver calls. Standardization of disk I/O is particularly critical. Does anyone know what the (rumored) forthcoming "low-end" Apple 68K system (not Liza/Lisa, the other one) will provide for an OS?
