+- use kides existing kernel/machine abstraction to define new functionality that is not possible in ruby
- define new machine functionality, adding kernel type api's, to create wholly new, possibly hardware specific functionality
I am thinking graphic accellaration, GPU usage, vector api's, that kind of thing. In fact i aim to implement the whole floating point functionality as an extensions (as it clearly not essential for OO).
