This post feels like it falls into the XKCD trap of “soon: there are 15 standards”
If you remove POSIX, what will replace it? If the answer is “nothing” then now on earth do you compete with a “build once run 99% everywhere else” mantra?
You’d end up with IE6 and ActiveX all over again, or HFS resource forks
- nine_k 4y agoIt never works like that. First there were implementations, often several, then they were standardized: POSIX, Common Lisp, HTML, JavaScript, etc. Whatever will supplant POSIX is going to be something that will have been proven to work already, ready to be standardized. If it's not there yet, POSIX can reign supreme, despite all its (real) flaws.
