GCC is not a very slow C compiler in term of compiled LOC/s (although
the difference in speed between -O0 and -O3 is embarrassing). What
makes compiling Unix software so slow, is the way source code is
organised, headers which include headers, cpp having to generate lots
of code, and all the other

I used gcc for one of my own OS projects years ago, without all the
#include crud.
It is slow. For one thing, it still(!) produces textual assembly code

But it doesn't matter anyway if your aim is to compile a ton of stuff that

One of the reasons mere POSIX isn't enough is that there are many non-POSIX
tendrils that have worked their way throughout the system,
notably d-bus and now systemd, but there are many others, and t

in some cases, plan 9's coincidental inability to run modern programs that do
unpredictable and undesirable things is a useful feature. mothra, for example,
doesn't even handle many html tags, but it also doesn't execute unknown
server-supplied code on my terminal. how can i be sure? because the

You're right on that score, but emulating continually-changing bloat
isn't really any easier,

Are you suggesting that there are bad things out there with a similar

This sounds so despairing I'm sorry for you. But to answer your
