Of course we should be like Copernicus.
So POSIX as a technology may be lacking but honestly what’s impressive about it to me is that it’s also a standard, not perfect there either, of course.
I think any conversation about replacing POSIX must include an effort to update or replace the standard. Deprecate the parts that no longer work well and add things that other systems have de-facto agreed upon, at least.
