DynamOS 'C'

My next step is to implement the DynamOS equivalent of 'C'. Sometimes C is considered to be almost assembly language - it's so close to the metal. Well I want a language that is just as close to the Virtual metal :)

I'm thinking something like this

(function numberFactory: vm
  (local numberPrototype)
  (local factory)

  numberPrototype: newObject
  
  (open numberPrototype
    (function plus: number
      result: (vm add: number to: this)
    )

    (function minus: number
      result: (vm subtract: number from: this)
    )

    (function isLessThan: number
      result: (vm value: this isLessThan: number)
    )
  )

  factory: newObject
  (open factory
    (function numberFrom: value
       value parent: numberPrototype
    )
  )

  result: factory
) 

some nice and simple brackets to make all the function calls really obvious. With just a few keywords (such as 'function' and 'open' and 'local')

After that I want to try implementing the compiler in DynamOS - which will require strings!! And that can then lead to a command line. Once we have the command line, well I think that will be enough to get moving with the C version.
