- whizzter 3y agoStill not the language, would be interesting to know why someone pushed this to POSIX and didn't propose it for the language. Today Windows is the biggest non-POSIX system remaning afaik (apart from Android and consoles) but back in the 80s and 90s there was MacOS, STOS, AmigaOS,etc so saying it was in Unix/POSIX has little connection to the language at large.
