> How would Limbo do as a systems language?

Limbo does things for you that one wouldn't want in a systems
language, and neither is Alef, although the name would fit.

Nowadays do we need anything more than a Dis translator?  Everyone
could learn Dis or MMIX (Knuth's) and be done with it.  After all,
portability was the main goal.

Maybe Forth is the answer ☺
