I guess I asked because of unix's "cute" style (well, crufty and inelegant style)
@amszmidt
What's your perspective on GNU hurd and or a powerful lisp like alternative for modern operating systems?

@screwtape @tychosoft @rml @lispi314 @a13cui @ramin_hal9001 UNIX as such is an abomination. The Hurd tries to solve parts of the problem, but it does not go far enough .. It is sorta like Plan9. It is putting lipstick on a pig.

@amszmidt @screwtape @tychosoft @rml @lispi314 @a13cui @ramin_hal9001 One thing that I don't like about Hurd is that its designers chose to build the whole thing around the POSIX-conformant file system abstraction when they really needed an object system.

@surabax @amszmidt @screwtape @tychosoft @rml @lispi314 @a13cui I am seeing enough gripes about Unix in this thread that we could probably write a "Unix Haters Handbook: volume 2." The first volume is so dated, it could use a rewrite.

@ramin_hal9001 @surabax @amszmidt @screwtape @tychosoft @lispi314 @a13cui we should do it, start a mailing list and then just... compile... all the best discussion into a single volume

@rml @surabax @amszmidt @screwtape @tychosoft @lispi314 @a13cui if anyone wants to take the lead on that, just start a Git repository and grant everyone here commit access.

Or let's use Fossil, since this is about hating on Unix, we can show those gits whats-what by refusing to use Git.

@ramin_hal9001 @surabax @amszmidt @screwtape @tychosoft @lispi314 @a13cui or maybe we can try pijul's commutative DVCS? https://pijul.org/

@ramin_hal9001 @surabax @amszmidt @screwtape @tychosoft @lispi314 @a13cui they have free hosting as well! https://nest.pijul.com/
