It's always mind blowing how when someone makes a neat project like this and the comments are nothing but complaining, vitriol, etc.
- na85 11y agoLots of vitriol because it's yet another "I took something that works and rewrote it to be slower, less functional, and JavaScript" Making computing worse, one fork at a time.
- rhinoceraptor 11y agoThis is the attitude that drives people away from working on open source.
- gherkin0 11y agoIt's better to say nothing so people can be happy with what they've just done and continue to make the same mistakes in the future?
- rhinoceraptor 11y agoSo I guess no one should write a toy kernel again the future, because it won't be perfect? What kind of logic is that?
- na85 11y agoToy kernels are usually presented as such. This is presented as Unix Without the Suck, when in fact it's almost 100% suck.
- eknkc 11y agoSo..., just don't use it? If it's useful for just one person, it's useful.
- soundwave106 11y agoTo me the problem with this project is more the puffed up description than anything else. Lots of "awesome" "wow" "woah" type self praise for their project, and a lot of "without the suck" "ugly DLLs" etc. for other solutions. If it were described as just a simple humble Node.js shell without the puffery and unnecessary bash at Cygwin, I doubt you'd see the same vitriol. (Personally, I could use a little less of this trend in computing for everything to be awesome and everyone to be rock star ninja guru superstars. For reasons like the responses here show.)
