Well, it's active as in "not dead", but not as in "actively developed operating system". I'm aware of the difference in the number of developers, but you have to agree that there are hardly any user-visible changes since onnv_147.

Is it, really? According to GitHub's commit history, there were 297 commits made since onnv_147, so ~1 commit/day. Prior to the fork, OpenSolaris was getting ~10 commits/day. To put this into perspective, there were over 8000 commits made t

After OpenSolaris OS/Net kernel development was closed, 3 forks were made: Illumos, SchilliX-ON and Stormix (sadly, they all seem quite inactive). There are 3 distributions based on the first one: OpenIndiana, Nexenta and SmartOS. There is

Veracity looks definitely nice on paper and it will probably be viable option for new users / projects moving to DVCS. However, the problem is that it doesn't offer any KILLER features that would make it worth migrating to it from Git/Mercu

Yes, I totally agree with you... But do you have access to such data?

by piotrSikora 15y ago
Yes, but at the same time it's only 1/20 of the world market, so getting banned in the US isn't end of the world.

"Always use the best tool for the job". Also, switching from Java to Scala without leveraging it's main features (using Actors, functional programming) seems like switching for no good reason, other than the fact that Scala is trendy nowada

You never used Erlang/OTP, did you? ;) Message passing is just part of the language and it's definitely not the most interesting one. It becomes really powerful when you combine all the interesting things together (pattern matching, message

I'm not big fan of the name (I would assume it's another node.js SaaS provider), but otherwise it looks like a great directory for node.js beginners.
