> But it's going to take decades for it to be established... I wouldn't be so pessimistic. Software is becoming increasingly complex and many people are starting to see that it is starting to get a little ridiculous. All we need is a tipping point in the form of a well designed kernel that works well. It doesn't need any hype, no HN announcements, nor major corporate backing. It just has to work and work well. That's how Linux got started. It filled a vacuum. We still have a vacuum in the form of crusty OS designs patched over with layers of code miles deep. That vacuum is the need for a new clean system for the networked distributed resource internet age. What we need are more passionate hackers who work on this for the pure enjoyment and self satisfaction instead of selfish ego fueling; meaning don't code with the end goal of getting something on the front page of HN/Reddit or super git committer. Just code for the sheer enjoyment and challenge of it. Besides when you post these ambitious projects you get all sorts of jealous reactionary posts that attempt to pick apart your ideas and stomp on them. That can discourage people from making true progress.
