I had a conversation about CLOSOS and Redox (a Rust system which claims to be some kind of heir to POSIX). Apparently "crashing will happen" and restarting the driver is better than trying to invoke a debugger or fix the driver.

Also, an operating system is useless if a good web browser does not run on it. I fail to see how this is any better than Unix other than programs shouldn't segfault, but I think comparing CLOSOS to post-Unix systems would be useful.

That's mostly because I couldn't see any difference between Redox and another microkernel Unix system, as far as the points in section 1.2 of the CLOSOS book went.
