One of the devs (as opposed to owners) is busy with DragonflyBSD.
"Matthew Dillon, an Amiga developer in the late 1980s and early 1990s and FreeBSD developer between 1994 and 2003, began working on DragonFly BSD in June 2003 and announced it on the FreeBSD mailing lists on 16 July 2003." - Wikipedia, DragonflyBSD
- mariuolo 8y agoI thought he had developed the DICE C compiler, not parts of the OS.
- Nomentatus 8y ago"Dillon started DragonFly in the belief that the techniques adopted for threading and symmetric multiprocessing in FreeBSD 5[4] would lead to poor performance and maintenance problems." So whether he contributed to the OS or just learned something at Amiga from those who did, Amiga's key concerns live on. Not to mention that the compiler isn't exactly remote from multiprocessor concerns; its value was that it adapted closely to what the Amiga hardware made possible, obviously.
