Wonder if this is more due to Bhyve being developed on FreeBSD and Illumos derives from a common ancestor BSD?

I know NetApp (stack based on FreeBSD) contributed significantly to Bhyve when they were exploring options to virtualize Data ONTAP (C mode)

Would love UC Berkeley to revive innovation and collaboration as seen during the BSD days.

I hope this and SCIP becomes a standard and we have more programming languages emitting symbols in SCIP format.

Awesome tool I purchased when I stumbled upon it.

I draw flowcharts for complex implementations in ASCII using Monodraw and embed them in source code.

This is my exact concern when new corp of developers try and learn operating systems using languages further away from the building blocks.

Unpopular opinion: It is still good to learn enough C + system programming & their gotchas before starting with a more fancy higher level language.

What happens when rest of the team does not rise to the occasion? You now have a happy but very mediocre team for the task on hand. Decision making is very democratic but seldom happens in time.

I feel you need pace setters but not excessively reward individual heroics.

Well, those OS differences taught us to write (or strive to) portable code. It also taught me to better appreciate strengths in different operating systems over the years.

Samba for file sharing? I led development efforts for the first Samba release on VMS (IA64) working at HP. It was not performant enough compared to ASV but we were on the right path.
