I wonder if this post gave some seminal ideas to a new generation of OS or language builders! Really cool stuff.
- mruts 8y agoI’m not entirely convinced that were will be a new generation of OS researchers. This, of course, is unfortunate.
- pjmlp 8y agoPlenty of ideas available in mainframes and safe OS systems that are yet to become mainstream.
- FridgeSeal 8y agoFor those of us unaware of some of the intricacies and unusual/interesting features available in mainframe and other OS’s, could you provide some examples?
- pjmlp 8y agoBeing written in memory safe system programming languages to start with. Burroughs B5500, nowadays sold by Unysis as ClearPath. OS/400, nowadays known as IBM i. Using a database as file system, like OS/400 catalogs. Containers were invented on OS/360, improved on other IBM models, and still offer resource management features not yet mainstream.
