http://www.Syllable.org is a desktop operating system. The goal of Syllable is to create a reliable and easy-to-use open source Operating System, for the home and small office user. Syllable is currently under development, but it is stable and relatively mature, with a number of useful applications already available.

for those interested:
Syllable adapted the newlisp 9.3.0 make description for their OS,

heh..
newLisp is very appropriate in many interesting places. For example, there are quite a few "tiny linux" distributions, some fit on 1 diskette, others take, say, 8 MB and require something like 4 MB minimum memory.
Many of them are built with the "busybox" tool, an excellent bundle of all major unix utilities into one small executable (from 40kb to 1.xx Mb, depending on what you include).

NewLisp is a natural fit on such minimal and rescue disks. "Standalone perl" still takes over 1 MB and has limitations. NewLisp is a very versatile scripting language that can talk to C libraries etc. etc. - and I think, it should be number one consideration for such bundles and assemblies (and can actually obviate several other utilities, as a matter of fact)
