Considering that Oxide's CTO is a longtime prominent Solaris guy, it's not shocking. I wouldn't surprised if that's the whole reason they use ilumos.

- asveikau 2y agoTo be clear I'm not saying there is no good reason to use illumos; I've liked Solaris when I've encountered it; I use ZFS on my FreeBSD machines; I've enjoyed reading commentary from Cantrill who I think is a really interesting guy. I'm just saying sometimes technology choices also reflect the individuals involved just as much as anything else.
