Little Smalltalk and Javascript for Minix
I've been working on porting some small programs to Minix to get familiar with what's required for ports. From there I hope to get some bigger stuff working that I really want to use like Factor and Erlang.
So far I have Little Smalltalk working (including the web based class browser and editor) and SpiderMonkey Javascript.
Porting is a little bit painful as there's quite a few things different under Minix. Eventually I want to try and develop some simple device drivers using these languages to see if the idea of user space device drivers in alternate languages is workable.

You might find that drivers in Factor are too slow, due to boxing/unboxing overhead of working with word-size integers having high bits set (which is a fair percentage, I would guess). Although I'm curious to see what happens.
