The goal is to execute object oriented code without external dependencies, on modern hardware.
</p>
<p>
No external dependencies means a system that defines an object oriented system language
that compiles to assembler. A sort of object version of c, but without using c.
It must be possible to compile higher level, dynamic, object oriented languages into a typed
intermediate representation, in a similar way that c++ is compiled into c (at least used to be).
So ruby compiles to soml which compiles to assembler which compiles to binaries.
<b>No interpretation.</b>

</p>
<p>
Most of the system is defined in a higher level language (ruby) and only a small runtime,
mostly the class sytsem and os acccess, needs to be written in the system language.
Using the compilation method on it's own runtime (and bootstraping with an exising vm),
it is possible to write the whole system in a dynamic oo language (ruby), thus
<b>removing the two language problem</b> (having to choose between nice and fast)

The staticaly typed language is called SOML (salama object machine language), has a roughly
ruby-ish syntax while c-ish semantics, and introduces several new concept:
