After all, should we be able to move beyond *nix? It is over 30 years old.

No wonder you have so many projects revolving around these concepts.

Looking forward to see opensource developers succeed in all of their goals in these projects; results so far are promising. Sat, 23 Feb 2008 09:19:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (obsethryl) Comments RE: "Managed" OSes http://osnews.com/thread?302132 http://osnews.com/thread?302132

Yeah, there are a lot of things going in their favor...

Integrated security model
Ability to sandbox apps
Component model
Stability/robustness
Strong typing
Reflection/Discovery of interfaces
Metadata
Portable
Flexible
etc

Still, I wonder whether it will go beyond the hobby phase to actually being used. Looks promising.Edited 2008-02-24 07:56 UTC Sun, 24 Feb 2008 07:49:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (tomcat) Comments Scala http://osnews.com/thread?302261 http://osnews.com/thread?302261 Honestly, I think a language like Scala, might be quite killer on this platform. At least for me, it's one of the most exciting computer programming languages in a long time.

I'd be interested to see what they're doing for the compilation/optimisation/runtime, mind you, in that arena, I'd want to leverage LLVM. Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:27:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Saem) Comments
