This ACM post by Kode Vicious brings up constraints on modern software imposed by antiquated POSIX compliance notions. The conclusion is we need to work on newer paradigms that are better suited to how computers are built today: with dozens of processors of varying types, multiple levels of caches, very fast storage combined with slower storage etc. I totally get that. I just assume that researchers are working on that and nothing has proved compelling enough to rise to mainstream use. Am I being optimistic in that or were the last big innovations in operating systems and software engineering 30 years ago? #programming #SoftwareEngineering #research #OperatingSystems #posix #unix #linux https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=3570921
