Android Mythbusters (Matt Porter)

“The presentation shows how Google has simply thrown 5-10 years
of Linux userspace evolution into the trashcan and re-implemented
it partially for no reason. Things like hard-coded device
lists/permissions in object code rather than config files, the lack
of support for hot-plugging devices (udev), the lack of kernel
headers. A libc that throws away System V IPC that every unix/Linux
software developer takes for granted. The lack of complete POSIX
threads. I could continue this list, but hey, you should read those
slides. now!”
