The SPIN Operating System is a research project implemented in the computer programming language Modula-3, and is an Open Source project. SPIN was developed at the University of Washington.
The kernel can be extended by dynamically loaded modules which implement interfaces. These interfaces are defined by the Modula-3 INTERFACE modules. All kernel extensions are written in Modula-3.
One set of kernel extensions provides an application programming interface (API) that emulates the Digital Unix system call interface. This allows Unix applications to run on the SPIN operating system.
