I'm thinking about the problem i have when I travel -- who will fix my servers if they get hacked?

I'm thinking of rewriting all the basic protocols, NOT IN C, in a much safer way. Would be great to do it with a Minimal Trusted Computing Base model, and some approximation to provable security?

Taking inspiration from FORTH creater Chuck Moore, I just want to rewrite it, simply, from scratch. Emphasis always on security, not speed or features. I can afford to run at 10% the speed of a "normal" server; my servers are well less than 10% busy.

How crazy am I? Would anyone else want a secure internet server? :)

working on a project now named CRPL (pronounced 'carpal'), some shortcuts for TCL (pronounced 'tickle').

Example:
y=lsort $x
rather than
set y [lsort $x]
or
z=(a*b+c*4)
rather than
set z [expr {$a*$b+$c*4}]

It uses the unknown command catcher to handle the new syntax. I am using this extensively in other projects.
