@drq oh, I read the article. Yeah, just read through all Linux code and implement all features and bugs. Simple enough for a few engineers, lol :tone_sarcasm:

@mo I mean, Linux kernel is literally estimated around billions of dollars in accumulated development costs. The largest project the humanity has ever created, and will probably ever create.

"Just rewrite it, lol."

@mo If there was some kind of standardized kernel module API/ABI and maybe also device driver API/ABI, it *probably* would have been easier to write a drop-in replacement for the central part of the OS kernel itself. It would have been damn fine if a standard like that existed. Device manufacturers could just write one driver for any number of OS.

But there isn't. There just fucking isn't! I mean, microkernels notwithstanding.
