My point is just that nothing technically stands in the way of reimplementing what I mean with "amiga experience" in a modern and secure way. Of course, amiga programmers see this entirely differently.

No, I agree 100%.
It should be possible to add nearly all the old flavour though you would have to have the OS alloc your structs and use OS calls to read out library values etc, so you would need to amend your source but you could still think in much the same way.

As for the technical parts, AFAIK no CPU has _really_ made an effort to ease data sharing with the possible exception of PA-RISC. The SASOS research community might have come up with answers on how to have all 3 of sharing/security/speed.
The micro-kernel people have been battling these issues forever, though they have it both worse and better as most of them want to be unix (or so safe that nothing is shared).
