I would like to create a native Commodore like environment for the RPi as an alternative.
That could be interesting. RISC OS includes BBC BASIC, but it's still a GUI.
At this point, I don't think I'd want to go to the hassle of coding a bare metal OS, but it could be interesting to build a BASIC command shell that uses SDL for graphics without needing X-Window. I've spent some time playing around with that in c#, and while I got something that was mostly working, I got frustrated and ended up purging most of it in a re-write.
I'd have to start over from scratch if I was to implement it in c++, to make it work on Linux.
