I believe that POSIX is not the way of the future. Then put your money where your mouth is, rewrite Emacs for a non-POSIX system. You are not allowed to use the standard C library, or anything else that POSIX states. And as a cherry on top of that, get it integrated upstream. When you are done with that, you can port GNOME to a non-POSIX system.
If your not willing to do that, then you have no business stating that one should ditch POSIX; which despite false claims of being "crap today" is darn good and doesn't prohibit anyone from creating kernels that are good and wonderful. After all, that is what the Hurd is about, making a kernel, not making a system. You (and I) may not think it is perfect, but there definitely does exist a free POSIX system with comprehensive support and a very widespread user base. And that system happens to be the GNU system, which GNU/Linux is based on. The same system that you are talking about, the same system that you say shouldn't use POSIX. _______________________________________________ L4-hurd mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/l4-hurd
