Irix had Inventor.
NeXT had the mach kernel, drivers written in Objective-C, Renderman, EOF, WebObjects, DisplayPostscript.
Ridiculous is putting up with certain clueless people online that don't have any idea of what they are talking about.
>explored the idea of Java based kernel drivers
They even made a Java OS a Browser and a Chip, we all know what a stupid decision that was, you could have say ZFS which is against the unix philosophy (one program one job) but you forgot that i think.
>Irix had Inventor.
Windows had paint, and Mac the almighty HyperCard...but that's NOT the Operating-system nor does it make any difference Unix-wise.
>NeXT had the mach kernel, drivers written in Objective-C
Ahh, now you bring the kernel argument i already brought, yeah drivers written in the beloved Objective-C (is that a feature or a User-space thing?)...you know Multics was made with EPL waaay earlier.
They are pure and certified Unixes (not NeXT, but MacOS X is/was), based on Unix ideas..basta.
So please tell me then. All Unixes have more or less the same FHS, Solaris did nothing different as..lets say BSD in the User-space nor did Irix, so tell me what did Solaris or Irix and even Nextstep fundamentally different then any other Unix?
>BeOS is 25 years older and 25 years younger than UNIX, yes modern.
Yeah lets stop here, it's getting ridiculous.
