Once again, have you seen anyone technical wilfully choosing any of those for web stuff over the past two decades?
- pjmlp 4y agoWilfully or not, they offer such capabilities in 2022, and there are people paying for their use, probably many more people than some obscure UNIX clones that still exist out there. And again, this whole thread started with what is possible outside Linux, and apparently I touched a nerve with you, apparently related to your FreeBSD role, let it go. FreeBSD, IBM i, Unisys ClearPath and OS/2200, or flavour of the month UNIX clone, are all miles behind Linux distributions for Web development on compute centers, if you insist in counting ammo. So better spend your contribution time in more productive discussions.
- trasz 4y agoThe thread started with what's possible outside Linux, but I don't think that to majority of people that means systems that exist purely for backwards compatibility. And I'm pretty sure that's the main - or perhaps the only major - reason anybody is still paying for "i" and OS/2200. And no, neither FreeBSD nor MacOS are "miles behind Linux"; in fact all the same pieces of ecosystem are available in all of them.
