Yeah, although Haiku seems to solve this problem more elegantly than Nix(the package manager) does(aka without a billion links). It is still great and I use it

Yeah, although Haiku seems to solve this problem more elegantly than Nix(the package manager) does(aka without a billion links). It is still great and I use it across many machines, including on OSX. Another thing BeOS did well (and it's still ahead) was the filesystem. The mail program was implemented directly in the filesystem: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/07/the-beos-filesystem/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/07/the-b... At one point in history, there was a chance that BeOS would be adopted as the Mac OS. I wonder how that fork in the road would look like.
