<azert>tplaten is implementing gnumach in userspace, maybe not such a worthless effort. Could be interesting to see gnumach working on top of gnumach

<azert>since people in the past complained that gnumach is bloated, could be a way to migrate kernel components gradually to userspace

<azert>gnumach on top of Linux, on the other end, is meh.

<youpi>we have already migrated kernel components to user space, there's almost nothing left

<youpi>at some point, the kernel *has* to manage context switch, memory switch, and hardware access

<youpi>the policies can be pushed to userland, we already do this to some extent with pagers etc.

<Gooberpatrol66>sneek: later ask azert if he has a link to tplaten's project

<gnucode>sneek later tell azert What's the usecase for running gnumach atop gnumach?

<sneek>Welcome back azert, you have 2 messages!

<sneek>azert, Gooberpatrol66 says: if he has a link to tplaten's project

<sneek>azert, gnucode says: What's the usecase for running gnumach atop gnumach?

<azert>No I don’t have the link

<azert>gnumach on top of gnumach? Debugging perhaps

<azert>Darling peoples seem to run xnu Mach on Linux userspace, including ipc

<azert>Of course they do that just for binary compatibility, that is a non issue in the case of the hurd

<azert>sneek: later tell gnucode that I think sneek is fun

<sneek>Will do.

<azert>gnucode: works?

<azert>Certain bots automatically pick this format

<ThinkT510>what is sneek written in?
