+%% The abstract is a short summary of the work to be presented in the
+%% article.
+\begin{abstract}
+  Computing, as any other field, evolved from the previous work on the matter.
+  During its development huge advancements have been done in many areas but
+  only some are in use today, due to the inertia industry already had, which
+  forced some sort of retrocompatibility. In this document a new computing
+  platform is presented, one that makes use of some of the ideas that didn't
+  reach the mainstream and uses our current computing capabilities in order to
+  achieve a personal computing device that embraces the programming language.
+\end{abstract}
+
+%% Document outline:
+%% - Motivation: Simplification as a mean for more efficient computing and
+%%   a more accessible manufacture. Modern computing systems are so complex
+%%   that they require very good manufacturing to deal with the excessive
+%%   computing waste.
+%%   Also, maintenance should be reduced as much as possible, even leaving it
+%%   in the hands of the user, as Oberon would, reducing the impact of the
+%%   repairs, upgrades, and computing infrastructure needed for simple tasks.
+%% - Kernels, Unix
+%% - Interpreters
+%%    - Shells
+%%    - Are interpreters a kernel?
+%% - Removing layers instead of adding layers
+%%    - Unikernels: Good idea but miss the target.
+
+%% Keywords. The author(s) should pick words that accurately describe
+%% the work being presented. Separate the keywords with commas.
+\keywords{Operating Systems, Programming Languages, Interpreters}
+%% A "teaser" image appears between the author and affiliation
+%% information and the body of the document, and typically spans the

+\epigraph{
+  Applicants must also have extensive knowledge of Unix, although they should
+  have sufficiently good programming taste to not consider this an achievement.}
+{\textit{-- Hal Abelson}}
+
+\subsection{The Kernel}
+\subsubsection{Virtual Memory}
+\subsection{The Shell}
+  The shell is run as a userspace program that has the hability to launch other
+  programs using an outdated fork+exec mechanism that encourages memory
+  overshoot\cite{fork:Baumann}.
+  The shell in Unix systems is optimized for text processing as, in McIlroy's
+  words, \textit{"text streams [are] the universal interface"}
+  \cite{QuarterCenturyUnix:Salus}.
+
+\subsection{Language interpreters}
+  Language interpreters are run as userspace programs.
+
+\subsection{Hardware}
+  Computer processors, often marketed as "\textit{general purpose}", are based
+  on the von Newmann model\cite{LiberateFromVonNeumann:Backus}, a CPU and a
+  Store that is, and designed for running an Operating System on them. They
+  clearly separate privileged, reserved for the kernel, and unprivileged
+  instructions, that any userspace program can use, in order to facilitate
+  interrupt and virtual memory control.
+
+  Contrary to what one could expect, most of the improvements in the processor
+  architectures come from specialization for the said case, and not from
+  generalization.
+
+  Modern processors are heavily optimized for Operating Systems that follow the
+  Unix model (which includes MS Windows), and a memory layout that resembles
+  that of a C-like program, which also comes from the days of Unix
+  \cite{GeneralPurposeProcessor:Chisnall}, reducing the chance for other
+  paradigms to succeed.
