I'm not sure Monad or PowerShell, but they will have an ASCII-drawn GUI
that's bascially a scaled- and stripped down version of the graphical GUI.
Needless to say, one must start from the bottom and add a GUI at the top,
not strip down a visually-rich environment. This won't solve all these
buffer overflows (or overflaws (sic)). In fact, it's akin the general
problem with Windows, which was built in a frantic progress-driven fashion
which neglected security (even networking). You can't bolt down security on
/top/ of an innately insecure system. The UNIX/POSIX way is that which was
learned and evolved over many decades. Ignoring it to create a toy operating
system is a recipe for problems. Changing the bottom layers once you've
bolted things on top is hard for a variety of reasons (maturity and backward
compatibility are among those factors).
