- chasil 2y agoWindows was built with a POSIX subsystem from the very beginning. WSL 1 uses something analogous. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_POSIX_subsystem The Zircon kernel does not support signals, so basic C is not going to work well. "It is heavily inspired by Unix kernels, but differs greatly. For example, it does not support Unix-like signals, but incorporates event-driven programming and the observer pattern." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(operating_system)#Kernel https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuchsia_(operating_system)#K...
