Well nobody uses NetBSD so...
Sure portability increases code quality, but at what cost to time to market which seems to be the primary concern for most developers these days?
- supermatt 8y agoNetBSD (and NetBSD code) is used pretty much everywhere. The internet pretty much runs on it.
- kstrauser 8y agoThat might be a bit oversold. I love the BSDs, but I'd think by now that Linux in all its forms would surely heavily outweigh NetBSD by now.
- agumonkey 8y agoI would love to read a recent survey. If someone knows about that.
- wtracy 8y agoI couldn't name a major corporation that uses NetBSD on their servers or routers. (Yahoo used to use FreeBSD servers, but even they migrated to Linux.) Is there a major router vendor or something else that uses NetBSD in a big way?
- makapuf 8y agoWell at least Netflix does. https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/netflix_freebsd/ https://fosdem.org/2019/schedule/event/netflix_freebsd/
- cheerlessbog 8y agoThat says FreeBSD
- dijit 8y agoI can name several. But you won’t think of them as tech companies. Hotpoint, pioneer, bose, Samsung (some TVs and audio equipment), whirlpool and many, many more. They all use netbsd in firmwares.
- jfrn 8y agoCitation or seriously some actual examples sorely needed for this statement.
