Thanks from me, at least. I'm still interested in this, and am
currently contemplating another dabble with it.

[Aside: I've discovered the problem with my TODO list. It is that
it is infinite, because every time one item is removed, two more
are added. This has the consequence that the interval between each
recurrence of an ongoing task more than doubles each time ....

Maybe not quite that bad, but it feels like it.]

Anyway, one of the might-be-fun items on my infinite TODO list,
is to make a Linux-from-scratch or Gentoo Linux, and then build
Poplog into it (maybe link it into the kernel). So that means
at least three Poplogs: Linux/Solaris, Windows, and Poplog the
OS. (After all, other languages[1] have suffered such hubris, and
Poplog is already more than a language, isn't it?)

Hmmm. Do I like the acronym for Poplog-The-OS? P.T.O.
