> the only Unix-like kernel I was aware of in a Wirthian language was TUNIS
SPIN developed at the University of Washington in the nineties was written in Modula-3; it was a microkernel-based system and supported the Digital UNIX system call interface, allowing Unix applications to run. There was also Sol implemented at INRIA in a Pascal dialect in the eighties which offered a Unix-compatible environment; it was followed by Chorus (initially written in Pascal), also a microkernel-based system, compatible with Unix APIs.
