CunoFS: Is POSIX Outdated in the Cloud Era?

POSIX is an established standard that developers know how to interact with, providing them with a less complicated and less error-prone development process. Lots of existing software is built on the POSIX filesystem paradigm, ready to run in any environment that supports it or be integrated into new toolchains to reduce overall development time. POSIX stays relevant not because of bleeding-edge features, but because developers like its reliability — they only use object storage APIs because they have to.

Slashdot: Unix Pioneer Ken Thompson Announces He's Switching From Mac To Linux

I have, for most of my life — because I was sort of born into it — run Apple.

And I have come, within the last month or two, to say, even though I've invested, you know, a zillion years in Apple — I'm throwing it away. And I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian in particular.
