I always hoped for macOS to borrow FreeBSD jails for itself. A Docker-like solution with a pretty UI could be really useful for pros. For novices, it could mean a less cumbersome security measure than the restrictions we’ve been experiencing since Catalina.

macOS would definitely benefit from adding support for jails and a whole host other features like procfs, unionfs, bindfs, tmpfs, etc.

  Erm, why would anyone want procfs? It's obsoleted in FreeBSD for a good reason.

    It doesn't have to be procfs, but it would be nice to have a /proc like interface.

      How it would be better than existing sysctl(3)-based one?

        Okay, I'll admit I just want it to be more like Plan 9. sysctl, ioctl, fcntl, sockets, could all have a file based interface. Maybe it isn't any better.

I would like an auto-jail, based on the directory you’re in (similar to asdf/rbenv). There’s just too much complexity in software, and so many things run on your machine these days. You can’t really trust any application anymore
