How debacles such as micro-kernels and XServer fits into Unix Philosophy?
- grymoire1 11y agoSun had the NeWS windowing system before XWindows. Be glad that did not become the standard. Be very glad.
- arethuza 11y agoI rather liked NeWS - certainly it was a lot more fun to develop for at that time than X and had some wonderful UI toolkits (particularly HyperNeWS). For example, being able to draw a shape in a a graphical editor and then paste the shape directly to a window as the shape that window should take was rather cool - and this was in the early 90s!
- nickpsecurity 11y agoEasy: a number of microkernel-based systems today actually have the properties UNIX pretends to. And to the core.
