%% You can then either use BibTeX with the ACM-Reference-Format style,

%%
%% The majority of ACM publications use numbered citations and

%% If you are preparing content for an event

%%
%% The "author" command and its associated commands are used to define
%% the authors and their affiliations.
%% Of note is the shared affiliation of the first two authors, and the
%% "authornote" and "authornotemark" commands
%% used to denote shared contribution to the research.

%% By default, the full list of authors will be used in the page

%% 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.

%% A "teaser" image appears between the author and affiliation

\section{Motivation}

\subsection{Von Neumann architecture}
\subsection{Unix}
\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.
