RSTS/E an entire PDP-11 operating system written in BASICPlus > Not sure why this is on HackerNews. Well, I think it's awesome but the modern world should look away, those wanting to break from current conventions would want to use Xojo here in 2021. As far as Hackernews...skimming through the site (found this PDP11 post near the end of page 2 on a Sunday evening with 15 comments) and was lamenting at all of the nearly irrelevant political/social crud (like almost 400 comments about Apple using edge-AI to scan photos on your device instead of on their servers after you already allowed them to use their servers if they wanted to). Nothing (or not much that I've found yet) about what we need to be doing to respond to the multi-YEAR chip shortage (besides scream "omg we're all going to die"), such as what it will do to the price of AWS/Azure workloads (perhaps mitigated by shifting our AI photo analysis to the edge without telling people the real reason why? LOL), quick migration to still available chips like ESP S2 from the way cooler microcontrollers, particularly issues with bread n buttah 40nm components on 200mm wafers (for da COBOL, JavaScript and Python billionaires: those are older chips and they make up most of the market)..and what all this means for the industry's traditional 4 year cycle. I think people using PDP-11 components will be safe, as long as they keep up the never ending battle against static electricity and solar flares :)
