The dystopian future of OS dev: Linux, Linux, Linux
I get that backwards compatibility is really important, but still. Gotta be POSIX compatible at least or else next to no one is going to use it as a daily driver.
For example:
> Coming up with a custom shell language was fun, but ultimately does not solve any real problems for us.
> Having a POSIX compliant shell would allow us to, well, run POSIX shell scripts. (This currently requires installing a 3rd party shell.)

Where's some variety? I hope to get into the field myself eventually, so maybe I should take it upon myself to create interesting things that might be useful.
