Haiku-OS is a another incarnation of BeOS.... a desktop OS created years ago be ex-Apple exec Jean Luis Gassee.

I have apparently been living under a rock and hadn’t heard of Haiku. Looking at the screenshots, it instantly reminded me of BeOS.

I ended up reading the Wikipedia page on BeOS for some nostalgia and it mentioned Haiku. Glad to see BeOS still around in some form — definitely was ahead of its time!

That's a really impressive achievement I think, those are complex applications running on complex stacks. It's certainly a big step in the direction of making Haiku a system that a developer could plausibly run for the development of cross-platform applications. This coupled with the Libre Office port last year means there's a pretty strong selection of applications for it cropping up.

Haiku is basically BeOS R5 plus some much needed modernization.

Great stuff. We need an open-source operating system 100% focused on the desktop.

I remember seeing the final BeOS live demo on the final day of the MacWorld Expo where it premiered.

It blew my mind. Things we take for granted now like multiple QuickTimes running at the same time, all the massive concurrency... Live searches of the filesystem via journaling... All way before its time (or at least, way before it appeared in mainstream OS'es).

What I wonder is, is Haiku more efficient than other available OS'es at Intel (or other, like ARM) CPU utilization?
