why are all these new systems coming out:
haiku, morphos etc
based on, and, backwards compatible with something else
why not start from scratch with a highly optimized system for newer hardware where you wouldn't have to make concessions or care about compatibility with some system from the 90's.

Being burned out + designing a new hardware accelerated OpenGL api doesn't mix :P
At the moment I'm fighting to get some Haiku patches checked into the build system used by VirtualBox, and getting our GSOC VirtualBox support pushed mainline.
Also don't feel that just because it's a bounty that there's some pressure or some crap, dude, it's Haiku, Valve time got nothing on us
Take care!

Personally I like both solutions as they have their relative strengths and weaknessess. Also as an old Beos afficionado I likely have a slightly less than objective attachment to Haiku (rose-tinted glasses and all that).

(source of info... i ported the latest mainline Mesa3D to Haiku)

Last time I checked most Haiku devs only used it in a VM and developing it was just a hobby. Haiku is now 12 or so years old. I don't believe that any Haiku developer thinks that Haiku would be useful anytime soon.

Also they have a more unified approach compared to Linux. They don't have something like linux>Xorg>DELast edited by 89c51; 29 August 2012, 10:07 AM.

Use case and Haiku point of being.
