> they are in the category of good things that are too hard for average programmers
Average programmers like Chuck Moore, Ken Thompson, Linus Torvalds, Arthur Whitney. I mean, I worked with Thomas Bushnell and he's brilliant and he does not seem to have completed his work of shipping a kernel for GNU/HURD. The smartest programmer that ever lived, St. Terry, did not do a microkernel, and he delivered a working .iso file. I guess all of those guys are average. Where are the programmers that are smart enough to build these microkernel systems?
This is the trap: "This system is conceptually nice when examined from a certain angle, and if you don't agree, it's because you're not smart/talented/knowledgeable enough." You say something is total shit and someone comes along and says it's just that you are a caveman and unable to appreciate it, and sometimes you are a caveman but sometimes it's total shit and you're not a caveman, the other guy is a defensive eunuch, masturbating without producing anything. Brian Kernighan, when asked about Standard ML, said he didn't mean to disparage his colleagues' work, but that ML seems to have been used almost exclusively for building ML compilers, and this is the feeling I get from a lot of these systems.
