The Linux kernel comes to mind.
- taeric 13y agoDoes this count as "cleanly" designed in the way most software engineering types put it forward? I mean, it flat out went against what was seen as "cleanly designed" when it was created. And even now espouses a monolithic code base over the microkernel designs. That is to say, in my mind it was one of the counter examples to the idealistic "cleanly designed" solutions.
