NoNoNoNoNo! (Warning: entering the ozone layer now)

This points up a problem with traditional computing environments. If you
think of memory as being either RAM, where your computer does its work,
and Disk, where your computer stores its work, you end up with this waste
of resources and loss of performance.

If you're going to keep executables in RAM, that's OK. But it's not OK to
copy that program from one place in RAM to another to execute it, which is
what a ramdisk does. A really good operating system would let you execute
the program in place. Of course, that means you must write re-entrant code
*always*.

While NeXT made some real improvements in usability, the next leap forward
needs to include RAM-resident program files that are re-entrant and execute
in place, running under a *real* realtime OS.

(You can take off your space suits now, but the preceding is no joke.)
