Must be somewhat depressing to be living in a state of fear such that you build an OS specifically for when you assume all supply chains fail globally, probably this decade. Seems both stressful AND unlikely your project will truly be useful in such a position. Not knocking the tech or author, just a thought about such depressing predictions!

Well, someone's got to think of contingencies. It might as well be someone who's already prone to such consuming thoughts. I hope it's never needed, but if it is, there's also some chance we may be thankful for its existence.

It's a very interesting hobby project that involves thinking about technology in a different way. It's not any more useless than Haskell.

Many major businesses use Haskell. A better comparison might be brainfuck.

I’ve written production Haskell that dealt with billions of USD transactions per day, fwiw
