Little Things That Made Amiga Great

Solaris had NeWS, ToolTalk, OpenLook, the only UNIX alternative to Windows IO complementation ports, explored the idea of Java based kernel drivers.

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.

Now you mix User-space programs with kernels, we talked about Operating-system (Unix), if you see it like that Windows or Linux is the most modern OS, because most Software.

>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.
