Do OS written in C# have good performance?
- pjmlp 5y agoA side effect of history. Check any of XEROX PARC workstations OSes, namely Smalltalk, Interlisp-D and Mesa/Cedar. Oberon, EthOS, Oberon-2 and A2 at ETHZ. TOPAZ at Olivetti. Singularity and Midori at Microsoft. Or have some fun digging through Android sources to see outside Linux kernel and ART, what is Java and what is C++.
