Linux is a bad example, complexity-wise, being based on the behemoth of terrible design that is Unix.
Look at Alan Kay's work with VPRI to see what a few brilliant minds can accomplish when looking at things from radically new perspectives.
- kilgnad 4y agoYou think elegance in design can negate complexity? Complexity has no ceiling. Good design can only lower complexity. Complexity itself cannot be negated. I can point to a million more examples, here's one: Red Dead Redemption 2 the video game. Name one programmer who understands every single system in that game.
- wrycoder 4y agoYeah, agreed, but sadly VPRI blew up for an unknown reason and the work was never completed or properly published.
