What if Emacs was the entire operating system, written in a modern
programming language? Basically the entire operating system is a lisp-runtime
that runs .lisp files and compiles them to bytecode. Everything else can built
on top of this. Each binary would be tiny with no overhead of including a runtime,
because the operating system itself is the runtime.
