Comment on Ask HN: Will we be using Unix derived OS's for the next 50 years?

Comments

Ah, I ranted before about how Copland was killed in favor of Unix-based NeXT technologies. For example Classic Mac OS used Pascal strings which was more secure than C strings. What is funny is that Copland tried to move the Mac Toolbox into kernel mode even though Copland never intended to preemptively multitask GUI apps. I read they once was able to run the "Blue Box" on Copland's NuKernel which would have been a good starting point.
