Why doesn't Apple embrace open source for the lower levels of macOS? If there were a community of developers working together on APFS, for example, this bug probably would have been found and fixed immediately.
- musicale 6y agoYeah, look like the last open source release was 10.15.3: https://opensource.apple.com https://opensource.apple.com
- chmaynard 6y agoI don't see APFS there. Regardless, I doubt if there is a real community of developers working on the Darwin code base. Contrast this with Swift on GitHub, which is very welcoming project with a high level of developer participation.
- vaxman 6y agoSwift, like Objective C, is irrelevant outside of the Mac. If SwiftUI is opensourced, that could change, but server-side Swift is done unless Apple goes into competition with AWS, Azure and GCP.
