That not work with MenuetOS, because its not Linux base
Not in that sense: I do not expect to "compile from PB and directly run". MenuetOS uses special functions to "Define and draw window", "Putpixel", "Get key" etc. (
http://menuetos.net/syscalls.txt ). I had ideas to have some code process intermediate PB output to link the two worlds, of our "comfortable largely hi-level coding" and those syscalls - to see if one could comfortably write the hi-level way for MenuetOS.
In a way, that is to see if tricks could be deployed to adapt the intermediates to create a partial custom backend, and see if this is enables for more comfort than just writing C (or assembly).
Of course nothing vital, but if a rapid, time efficient (within all constraints of good practice) coding worked for those arcane but promising systems (small, lean, controllable, trustable - where do you get that today?), they could be actually populated with applications, towards full usefulness.

EDIT: I mentioned MenuetOS. But the same is valid for BeOS/Haiku, and probably others. Maybe the forthcoming¹ PB intermediates can be adapted to facilitate coding for less mainstream systems, maybe not... It's worth taking a look.
