Yeah, UNIX sucks. We know this. The problem is, there isn't really anything better. Oh, plenty of things have TRIED, but it's the elisp curse: It's not the most elegant system, but it's easier to try and hack what you need on top of it than make a better one. >Tagged Filesystems While not in common use, these exist now. And you can run them on your unix machines. Look up BeFS. >Typed Data ...I'd rather have 1000 ops on 1 crappy data structure than 10 ops one 100 good data structures. And that's what you usually end up with, regardless of what you're trying for. >Immutable Data: This is actually something I'd like to see. OH WAIT, I have, it's called git. Now we just need to integrate it into an FS. It's also called Nix, for packages specifically. >Server First: Plan9 did it, It's been emulated in userspace, It should have caught on. >Decent Shell Lang: Python and Ruby anybody? We really should make those defaults. >Reasonably Secure. Yeah, we need to fix this. We need less C. >Better Security Model We'll implement it if somebody can design one that Fking works, and isn't Fing SELinux. >Browsable Executables. Yeah. >Sandboxes THE DOCKER REVOLUTION HAS ALREADY COME.
