On the surface, you wouldn't think immutable data structures would offer any significant performance gains. But there are a lot of cool techniques and unforeseen consequences that emerge. The clojure library "om" is able to use reference equality (instead of a deep comparison) to check for diffs. This results in a 2x or 3x performance gain over mutable data structures. So I agree with you, this will likely just be a toy OS. But if his design demonstrate huge advantages, the ideas could be adopted by mainstream operating systems. |
