It's great to see Oxide shipping. They have an incredibly talented team thats worked very hard for a long time in the best tradition of Sun Microsystems.

Not being pedactic, I swear :)

Can you elaborate on the Sun comparison? I am a huge fan of Sun and what they did for computing at large - designing hardware, creating specs, their contributions to evolving unix and so on. I'm not sure how Oxide compares. Unless you're talking about "in the spirit of Sun".

I'm not the one you replied to, so I don't know what they mean specifically about the "tradition of Sun", but

Bryan worked at Sun where he helped create DTrace.

After the Oracle acquisition, he left to join Joyent as VP of Engineering and then CTO. Steve was COO of Joyent. And I have heard similar comparisons between Joyent and Sun.
