Seeems like the problem is when it's misapplied - I don't doubt what you're saying, but it has seemed like *nix got pretty far with the 'everything is a file' paradigm.
- whatshisface 6y ago'nix doesn't actually think everything is a file. At most that's a user/programmer interface thing. Imagine how bad it would be if some insane zealot demanded that everything inside the kernel had to be a file!
- generalizations 6y agoYeah, I don't know much about kernel design. At least at the OS level, the 'everything a file' paradigm has made things far easier and cleaner.
