If you rewrite Linux in C# garbage, you can kiss your freedom goodbye.
C, in fact, is outdated. But C# garbage is the last thing one would consider as substitution. Write your home-brewed stuff in this garbage, so when Microcrap "suddenly" revokes its promises or asks for fee - both of which already happened, you loose your home brew, BUT NOT A FREAKING OPERATING SYSTEM.
Originally posted by Luke_Wolf View PostWell yes theoretical Microkernels and Managed Languages are slower than a theoretical monolithic kernel and non-Managed languages, however speed isn't everything. Microkernels bring features like being able to switch out drivers at runtime and resilience against drivers crashing, and ultimately they're more a natural expression of the Unix philosophy than these big kernels have ever been.
Originally posted by Luke_Wolf View PostMaking it in a managed language is an interesting twist particularly one like C#, they say they're using attributes for instance as part of their driver development set up, Microsoft's Midori is also interesting from the standpoint that they're somehow running a microkernel in a single large address space, and it looks like there's discussion for MOSA to do the same, I'm guessing somehow .NET has features that allow them to actually pull that off safely in the manner (apparently however they're pulling off what they're calling Software Isolated Processes) that split address spaces normally would but I need to do more research in that regard to understand what they're doing. That all said it's going to be interesting to see how those two, MINIX3, Genode, and HelenOS turn out here a few years down the line.
Midori is a hoax. They do rewrite whole toolchain in order to link it to windowsrt, but nothing more. In the end, you will have rebranded Java.
Only Hurd has chance to replace Linux as an outgoing evolution, the rest is either hoax, unserious or outright dangerous to use.Last edited by brosis; 26 February 2013, 06:03 AM.

All kidding aside though, for many, many projects C is the best language to use for the task, but it's still the worst language imaginable. It inspires so many of us to want to break things and hurt people.
(Note that I'm excluding PHP from consideration since PHP isn't actually a programming language but rather a big turd wrapped up in a disguise of a programming language.)
