What would be really interesting is Elixir-OS/Erlang-OS where the entire OS can take advantage of a 50 core CPU.

You may be interested in learning about some of the approaches taken by the Midori project:http://joeduffyblog.com/2015/11/03/blogging-about-midori/

A research OS with the theme of treating the OS as if it were a distributed system.

I assume the whole thing goes down when left-pad or some other trivial dependency can't be resolved.

npm no longer allows packages to be unpublished after 24 hours.

> node-os is the first operating system powered by npm Read More That's not a very nice tagline to have after the recent left-pad fiasco.

My favourite part is that I clicked it and got a 404. That seems really appropriate.

Are you saying current OSs dont?!

Current OSes don't include the buzzword "Elixir" so they aren't relevant to Hackers.

I'm honestly not sure. I was under the impression that it was limited... but thinking back perhaps I was thinking of the software that usually doesn't take advantage of multiple processes. Also half joking :D

The entire os can in fact take advantage of a 50 core cpu and most of the things that would benefit the most can.

Thanks, I was not aware of this :)
