Ask HN: Examples of Microkernels?
It seemed to be in a similar space to Genode when I had a brief look. Is it clear how it compares?
A system that claims to allow you to configure it in microkernel and other modes might be interesting for comparison of the approaches, but I've only noticed it via a local connexion: https://project-flexos.github.io/

Unikraft is a fast, secure and open-source Unikernel Development Kit
Thanks for the feedback, we're in the process of adding a security section[0] which will detail more on the on-goings, but we'll work on adding more highlights on the main page.
I need to highlight we have separate research[1][2] which will make its way upstream soon which aims to provide hardening between internal libraries (e.g. isolating the network stack or scheduler) using gates like Intel MPK or separate hardware-accelerated services.

HFS Origins: The Turbo File System (2017)
I think NeXT might've written an HFS Standard reader or something, but they used the Apple code for HFS+ so it ended up as a hybrid.

Windows 11 Insider Preview — Rust in the Windows Kernel
Mach message passing and objc message passing have no relation. I don’t think xnu contains much if any objc.

Apple releases a Game Porting Tool, based on open-source platform Wine, which can translate DirectX 12 into Metal 3, a potentially massive step for Mac gaming
here is the kernel source (they have branches for each individual macos release with its darwin kernel ver, macos 13 is ver 8792.xx.x for instance): https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu

Apple’s new Proton-like tool can run Windows games on a Mac
Apple does plenty of open source stuff. Safari's browser engine, Swift, libdispatch, the XNU kernel used by iOS and macOS, etc. And macOS is generally packed with open source things, like the default shell, zsh. Also, Metal actually predates Vulkan, so Vulkan was definitely not established when they started focusing on Metal. Yeah, they probably should consider supporting Vulkan now, but it's nothing to do with open source. The main beneficiaries of Apple supporting Vulkan would be people porting closed-source games.

- Believe it or don't, Idc, but I am the dude who "forced" Apple to open-source everything. Hackintosh ftw :D
