I don't want to be a gatekeeper, but Clojure, Janet and similars doesn't even have cons cells; that's hardly 'the same programming language'.

I don understand: If there are so many developers willing to contribute with non OCaml languages, why they don't just implement their own mod installer in Perl, Java, PHP or whatever a "sane" language is?

I don't get what's miserable or unhappy about criticizing the political incoherence of some people. You may disagree with them, but why the personal attacks?

> I do not know what the next-best single-user, single-process, non-bloated OS would be to run on modern hardware that still has some reasonably modern software and can be used for distraction-free (hobby) development the way FreeDOS could.

Not sure why would you want a single-process OS on modern hardware, but there are some alternatives that run much less things on the background than regular Linux: Haiku, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or some lightweight non-glibc, non-systemd Linux-based like Adelie or Alpine.
