Interim OS is a minimalist experimental operating system with a language-based kernel inspired by Lisp machines and Plan 9. It boots to a JIT-compiling Lisp REPL (Sledge) and exposes system resources as filesystems, running bare-metal on Raspberry Pi 2 and hosted on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Amiga OS.
Use cases
- experiment with a lisp machine style operating system
- boot a custom OS bare metal on a raspberry pi
- explore everything-is-a-file system design
- run a jit lisp repl as a shell and editor
- study minimal operating system kernel design
- try an os where the shell is the editor is the compiler
When to choose
- you want a hands-on research OS blending Lisp and Plan 9 concepts
- you need a bare-metal playground for Raspberry Pi 2
- you prefer keyboard-driven, minimalist computing environments
When to avoid
- you need a production operating system with drivers and software ecosystem
- you require GPU, networking, or mouse support
- you want a maintained project with active releases
