I applaud them for getting things done vs just talking about it.
Personally, I find yet another monolithic kernel unix clone is not what we need, but the point here is that it's made in Rust, which itself is an experiment; It is best to not do too many experiments at once, thus cannot complain.
- diggan 3y ago> Personally, I find yet another monolithic kernel unix clone is not what we need It seems highly irrelevant what you or I need. The author explicitly made the project as a learning experience, not for others. The "Why" is described in the opening paragraph, and makes the goal very clear. And it seems like the author was highly successful, so congratulations author! Great to see people diving headfirst into very complicated parts of the stack.
- snvzz 3y ago>It seems highly irrelevant what you or I need. There is no need to twist my words into sounding negative. As already explained in the parent, congratulations to them for getting it done, and I believe it does provide value through testing one thing (Rust) while sticking to the very mature and well understood UNIX design.
- diggan 3y agoSorry if it sounded rough but I don't think I twisted anything. It's fairly common for people on here to post stuff they done as a learning exercise, and also very common for others to then ask "But what is the value?" and "This doesn't seem useful to anyone", which I think could put first-time authors off from HN. I guess I just got a bit tired of it at this point.
- llenotre 3y agoThank you very much!
- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoI mean, https://www.redox-os.org/ https://www.redox-os.org/ exists if you're into that
- snvzz 3y agoGenode[0] is the project I'd suggest looking at, for state of the art OS architecture. 0. https://www.genode.org https://www.genode.org
