RT-11 Ahhh, Remember how every odd numbered release was better than every even numbered one! (can't recall the detail). I 'ad an AR11 board in a pdp 11/10 (1) once - it was great fun. Wrote assember interfaces to FORTRAN to drive it more easily.
Same with VMS - the even point releases added stuff, and the odd ones fixed the new bugs. The last point release of each major number was usually really good and stable - 3.7, 4.7 and so on.

YES! The TI "Launchpad" could've been the next Arduino with sufficient community support. They were originally $4.30 (the price is the part number).
The new TI MSP430 has FRAM Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM), also known as FeRAM or F-RAM, is a memory technology that combines the best of Flash and SRAM. It is non-volatile like Flash, but offers fast and low power writes, write endurance of 10^15 cycles ...
Use FERRET electro-power for your designs :-)

Beyond a port of the Arduino IDE into Energia... Getting download permissions for a non-$$$ CodeComposer Studio is a bit of a pain (and confusing to determine what license one gets -- as I recall, the MSP430 support on the free version is limited to 32kB; supposedly if used on a TIVA launchpad with the built-in debug interface one can use the full
256kB/1MB [TM4C123/TM4C129x]; otherwise only 32kB)
