UNIX Hater: I am Calling You Out

Peak Zig Forums.

Somebody is bitching about what we have today and refuses to do anything about bring forth their own utopia of Lisp. That's just sour grapes. If Lisp was so wonderful and powerful, it should take a fraction of the time it takes to write an OS in C. Today we don't see anything like that which is more advanced than a toy proof of concept.

Have you considered that writing a good OS may be a function of more than just the programming language, such as the hardware? You know, like the lispfag keeps saying. HW dev is expensive as all fuck unless you want to marry an FPGA vendor and go down with him.

Serious question, are the people complaining about the Multics nigger supposedly "not having time to make his OS" underage or simply retarded?
Even if you take no action to make something better than X, this makes criticisms of X no less valid.
He mentions Multics and Lisp Machines, however, to prove that it *is* conceptually possible to do better.
People like to ignore that the reason Unix derivatives are bearable nowadays and "run faster xDDD" is because of decades of manpower from thousands of people and effort put into them, not to mention decades of hardware development catered towards certain programming styles.
Demanding so much from a single person in order to "lmao prove he's not LARPing" is just silly.

It's a common logical fallacy. Among the shit like “but where's the alternative” and “the right tool for the right job”.

Stop LARPing, faggot.

I'm complaining about the fact that he seems to do nothing productive other than bitch about UNIX. I'm not talking about the validity of his words, which I pretty much agree with. I'm telling him to actually start projects or help others already in place that could bring an OS modeled after the LISP machines, because if he dosen't actually write anything then it (the OS) is never going to be made, he can't expect others to do it for him.
Also, I'm not saying he must write it all by himself, I adviced on that he could help a guy who's already started writing a LISP-OS (and he's actually writing it almost all by himself), be it helping him with the file-system, drivers, or just polishing the code, all amout of help is well received.

Protip: You're a LARPer
