If the slopper needs some vision, porting LibreNT to run atop NeptuneOS would be more interesting instead of reverse engineering.
This is intriguing?

What is the proposal her?

It can be implemented in Haskell with less code?

I am not an SML guy, mostly an Algol type guy.

Is there a way to do the same in some other Algol type language?

Yes, because you were silently fired as a developer and rehired as an AI manager. You can't compare apples and oranges.
