Debian GNU/Hurd can now be installed a little easier. "This month Philip Charles created a new installation CD, the L series, for the Hurd, which brings us a big step towards installing the Hurd from the Hurd (without the need of a Linux-based installer). If you enjoy testing stuff, please give it a try."

Development of Haiku (as well as the NewOS kernel) begun in 2001.
OTOH, the first attempt to write a GNU kernel was in 1986. If you include the development time of the GNU userspace tools, it even started in 1984.
I could argue how Haiku even builds a complete desktop environment -- something that's totally out of scope for Hurd, but pictures say more than 1000 words.
So compare Hurd: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:HURD_Live_CD.png

So? Haiku is done by a small team in their spare time as well.
Even if you add the development time of the NewOS kernel (written by a single guy, back then), its development speed is still faster than Hurd's.
