It is also *more* expressive than conventional high-level languages in some ways: Literate Programming turns out to be a great fit for a statement-oriented -language and labels make great [join points](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_point). +language, and labels make great [join points](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_point). Balancing these strengths, however, Mu is currently interpreted and slow. Too slow for graphics or sound, among other things. Rather than try to build a compiler for it, our next milestone is to "backport" the lessons of Mu back to a real-world unix-like system: OpenBSD, a reasonable compromise between the -complexity (*ahem* bloat) of Linux and the over-simplification of +complexity (*ahem* bloat) of GNU and the over-simplification of [xv6](https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public). The goal is to continue to have a self-contained, self-hosting system without external dependencies as we add support for new kinds of tests. The goal is explicitly *not* to blindly |
