Synit: A Reactive Operating System
- rapnie 10mo agoFrom the website: > Synit is an experiment in applying pervasive reactivity and object capabilities to the System Layer of an operating system for personal computers, including laptops, desktops, and mobile phones. Its architecture follows the principles of the Syndicated Actor Model. > Synit builds upon the Linux kernel, but replaces many pieces of familiar Linux software, including systemd, NetworkManager, D-Bus, and so on. It makes use of many concepts that will be familiar to Linux users, but also incorporates many ideas drawn from programming languages and operating systems not closely connected with Linux’s Unix heritage.

- yjftsjthsd-h 10mo agoThat may actually be underselling it. So far as I can follow, this is trying to replace more of the OS than systemd is, and coming from a different (although in some ways not wholly dissimilar) paradigm. It's like.. I dunno, building a smalltalk machine over a Linux kernel might replace systemd, but that's almost incidental to it rotating the entire universe 90°.
