Because providing a 'product' is the sole criterion for success? The author is missing the point and doesn't understand TempleOS.

Right, exactly, I have to use WhatsApp because it's what everyone else uses, so leaving isn't even an option.

I suppose zebras are basically walking barcodes :)

The IRC gateway was the only thing that made slack even barely usable for me.

Easier said than done though, right?

What happens if you want the child to inherit other fds? Or set other attributes such as the session, euid, egid etc?

The elegance of fork() is in avoiding the complexity of requiring every attribute of the process to be explicitly stated in order to create a new process. We simply inherit our parent's attributes and if that turns out not be desirable it is fixed in the child with the usual syscalls.

My guess is the controversy around this issue makes it difficult to discuss. What I like about this article on various init systems is the relatively objective comparison of the different features and approaches of previous inits.

In several instances being honest has cost me socially. There doesn't seem to be a solution that doesn't ultimately result in rejection. Unless ofcourse you're willing to lie.
