We've already seen the advantages although the total cost-benefit is unknown. For one, several CPU's for Scheme/LISP in past had hardware-accelerated garbage collection and/or a bunch of cores. Automatic, memory management and multicore are now mainstream due to perceived benefits. Works down to CPU in LISP machines.

Also, I've seen some of these benefits of Genera in modern stacks but I still don't have all of these capabilities:

Any jump out at you as particularly awesome for a developer OS?
