mooix
March 30th, 2004
Most MOOs run off in a corner of a unix system, as a single process. They re-invent their own programming languages, which are often not very expressive or powerful, their own object oriented database systems, their own multiuser support, and essentially everything you’d find on a unix system. Mooix turns this on its head, and rather than trying to reinvent unix inside a MOO, it turns the unix system into the MOO. It uses every unix strength possible to the advantage of the MOO; its multiuser nature, preemptive multitasking, disk caching, device abstraction, numerous programming languages, editors, libraries, etc. With Mooix, unix is the MOO.
