I'm not affiliated with this project in any way. However, I almost didn't notice it on the schedule and thought people might be interested. On December 28th there will be a talk about "libd and the Slate project" at the annual Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, Germany. http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Fahrplan/events/2321.en.html Summary: We present libd, a high-level runtime for the D programming language and the Slate project, an attempt at a high-level OS and environment built upon libd, as the next major step in improving the state of programming environments and operating systems. With high-level abstractions, and sensible design, the state of implementation of open-source OSes can improve. We leverage existing kernels when implementing Slate, and put an extensive (abstraction-oriented) architecture above the kernel to present the user (or programmer) with a system they can use by having to do less to perform a specific function. Our virtual machine approach also allows for security verification on a level not seen in *nix OSes before. Usually, live steams and video recordings are available: http://events.ccc.de/congress/2007/Conference_Documentation Regards, Christian Kamm

These Obj C-like "message passing" modifications to the D language sound intriguing. Any more about that? Is it actually implemented or are you just thinking aloud still? [I ask because one of the slides lists implementation as a "future direction" ... "perhaps".] --bb

Dunno, I'm not affiliated with the project either, but during the talk, the speaker said that their libd runtime library, based on their "slightly modified variant of the D programming language", you be available within a month or so from now.

The messaging has been implemented since last summer. I'll leave those who are involved with the project to say more about it. Sean
