I've only used (6809) flex briefly, on an Acorn System of all things, but I

OS-9 was much more like '6809 unix' (to the user, internally it's very
different!)

Yes, having seen OS-9 briefly, too: behaviour was very predictable with a
bit of Unix knowledge, but, for example, implementing an "echo" command
needed something like four machine instructions.
