Just a thought, but considering that TenDRA compiles to an intermediatory=
=20
'platform independant' stage (ie like java) would it be wise to write an=20
operating system in this language? for a start, i could imagine that it w=
ould=20
always take longer to compile. and I guess (has someone already said this=
)=20
that you could not use in-line asm in such a language (or am i wrong?).
