NeXT you mean.

Additionally, Apple has a long term roadmap to fix that design decision, hence why they are killing one kernel subsystem at a time, moving them into userspace, with one year given for the developers to adopt each of them, after being made available as the new way.

Finally, it is kind of ironic that systems that have doubled down on monolithic kernels, are now used to run an endless pile of containers and Kubernetes clusters.

Notably they aren't exposing most of the functionality, it wouldn't be possible to e.g. implement NFS or 9p with the userspace filesystem thing they've been pushing. They're basically just shutting users out from their own computer....

well said
