Can you tell us more about the programming language and operating system? For example, how did memory management work? Was it based on garbage collection, reference counting, or still manual memory management? And what about persistent storage? I gather from the OP that fragmentation of persistent storage was a big problem.
- blacksqr 11y agoWe weren't allowed access to the OS code itself, just the developer API, so I can't give detailed info about the implementation. I was the chief QA engineer for the Envoy team, but I was locked out of bug discussion meetings with the GM people. Everything was handled at a very high level. I remember they were very proud of the fact that the programming language was fully object oriented, and drank deep of the OO kool-aid. So no C-style direct memory access AFAIR.
