Lots of Amiga concepts live on today with DragonflyBSD.
https://www.dragonflybsd.org/ https://www.dragonflybsd.org/
And it’s shockingly performant (on par with Linux, sometimes even better), given the tiny development team.
Messaging passing, etc are core Amiga ideas that exist today only in Dfly.
- KerrAvon 3y agoMessage passing in some form dates from at least as far back as the 1970's, possibly the late 60's. Generally, BSDs were influenced by Mach to the extent that they've adopted some microkernel ideas. I'd be surprised to learn there's any genuine link between AmigaOS and Dragonfly.
- icedchai 3y agoPrepare to be surprised. The genuine link is Matt Dillon, who developed the Amiga "DICE" C compiler and also started DragonFly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Dillon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Dillon
