Or as i like to call them, DOS-in-a-can...
- paulddraper 10y agoDOS like Denial of Service? Or DOS like MS-DOS? Either one doesn't make sense to me.
- digi_owl 10y agothe latter. DOS was a downright minimal layer of code between the software and the hardware. Little to no memory protection etc. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
- nickpsecurity 10y agoThat's not fair given DOS was 100% unsafe in architecture and implementation language. The Ocaml or Rust ones are more like the Pascal OS's (eg Solo) with a certain amount of safety built-in. I agree on the minimal part but the overall metaphor doesn't fit.
