An interesting difference between the cultures of FOSS and UX is that important influences in their development favored different ways to use computers: Unix, an important system for FOSS culture, was originally used on multiuser systems with timesharing while Parc’s Xerox Alto, origin of the modern GUI, was made to be a single user system.
@tetrislife I never tried Erlang, though I played a bit with #Elixir
(Wondering if what a modern take on the user friendlyness of smalltalk and advantages of FP could look like?)
@simulo @tetrislife Roc lang might come close as it's an FP language that is also very inspired by Smalltalk https://www.roc-lang.org/
@tetrislife Comparing Haiku and Plan9 would be interesting, given that the former was explicitly planned to be used on personal computers and the latter seems to be a more modern, UI-ish take on Unix with a lot of C/C++/Unix developers involved.
