Oh, good, someone saved that.<p>A Rust replacement for the QNX kernel would be useful. It really is a good OS. Much better suited to real-time and embedded than Linux.<p>QNX started out closed source, went open source, went closed source, went open source, and went closed source again. By which time third party developers were totally fed up with the company. GCC, Eclipse, Firefox, and Thunderbird all ran on QNX at one time. Around 20 years ago, you could run it on the desktop. I used to do that when I was working on a DARPA Grand Challenge vehicle. I could run the real-time vehicle software on the desktop, hooked to a simulator, without it missing a scheduled even while a browser was running.<p>I once told one of their sales reps, "Quit worrying about people pirating your product, worry about people ignoring it."
