You're just learning something and have decided to evangelize to others about it. You don't describe any large projects you've completed using it, which suggests to me that you haven't. Gotcha. > The main advantage comes to big software project, like operating systems, > transactional systems, etc .... This is a claim that SDL (or "event oriented" programming? it's not clear which you are referring to) has benefits that do not manifest themselves in smaller projects but that assist in large projects. Since you just stated that you're still learning SDL, this cannot be a claim based on your own experience. A citation of the source of that claim would therefore be appropriate, ala "According to Ipsum, Ergo, and Ipecac's research and industry experience, the main advantage comes...". > Do believe an OS could be totally modeled with SDL? "an" OS? Sure. A mostly POSIX compliant OS? No. I do not believe human patience is up to the task of producing an SDL model of even a mostly POSIX compliant OS. (If you have not read the POSIX spec multiple times, found inconsistencies, and followed the discussions of attempts to resolve those inconsistencies, then you do not have standing to challenge that claim.) > would it be possible to OpenBSD to benefit from sdl usage? Possible? Of course: almost everything is possible, but being possible doesn't mean anyone should try to make it happen. Philip Guenther
