As in, what if there was a Linux distro that focused, primarily, on building a Lua layer on top of everything, system-wise. Just replace all the standard stuff with one single, system-friendly language: Lua.
It’s only a thought experiment, except there are cases where I can see a way to use it, and in fact have done it: embedded. Realtime data collection, processing and management.
So I think there may be a point in the future where this ‘single language for everything’ becomes a mantra in distro land. I see the immense benefit.

Whats curious to me here is that the github repo linked to in the article seems to exactly recreate the "operating system" that is called an "opinion in the wrong layer".
Perhaps I am misunderstanding this, but after looking at the code what exactly are we achieving here over other frameworks? The repo is obviously very new (and the author certainly seems busy), so perhaps a better question is what do we aim to achieve? So far it seems like the exact same pattern with some catchy naming.
Regardless, I love ambitious projects furiously coded by one crazy person. And I mean "crazy" in the best sense of the word, not as an insult. This is what open source is all about.
Please prove us all wrong. If you fail, you'll learn a ton!

The distributed object fallacy is never going away, is it?
