Goals and Priorities for C++

Fuchsia makes the list of OSes to prioritize but not *BSDs. This doc is biased toward the interests of Google. Which is Ok. They should just state that upfront rather than saying “our use cases” and leave it to the reader to figure it out.

Isn't BSD quite similar to Linux? I highly doubt it has any of the legacy platform features they specifically call out as problematic:

"Byte sizes other than 8-bits, or non-power-of-two word sizes

Source code encodings other than UTF-8

Big- or mixed-endian (at least for computation; accessing encoded data remains useful)

Non-2’s-complement integer formats (we supported C++20 dropping support for this)

Non-IEEE 754 floating point format as default floating point types

Source code in file systems that don’t support file extensions or nested directories"

macOS is arguably a BSD
