Could you elaborate on what kind of application you're talking about and what are its requirements?
If your app is insulated enough that it doesn't care about POSIX features, aren't you simply outsourcing those requirements to underlying components (and those will care about POSIX)?
- pjmlp 9y ago> Could you elaborate on what kind of application you're talking about and what are its requirements? At work, anything written for JVM or CLR languages, Python, C++, JavaScript. Sometimes I also dabble on Go, D, Rust or ML derived languages on rainy weekend throw away projects. > If your app is insulated enough that it doesn't care about POSIX features, aren't you simply outsourcing those requirements to underlying components (and those will care about POSIX)? Quite true, but I have come to realize that POSIX is mostly relevant to C developers, because how C and UNIX are coupled together. Also POSIX is not GNU/Linux, rather any UNIX like OS.
- d3ckard 9y agoIsn't delegating(outsourcing) the whole point? Once you do not need POSIX(and POSIX itself does not require Linux specifically) and your tools take care of underlying system, why would you care about system you're running(or, to be more precise, care about running Linux in particular)?
