Does the ghost of BeOS haunt LG TVs that run WebOS, or is it too far gone by now?

Did someone forgot to pull the plug on http://www.openwebosproject.org/ or is it something you can actually run on your computer and develop for
This is all very mysterious, there's also still http://www.hpwebos.com/us/ displaying a ton of irrelevant discontinued products :confused:

i can't imagine there's much, if any, beos in webos considering the latter is a linux, and the former isn't.

beos was amazing back in the 90's. 20 years later Linux hasn't managed to come up with as good of a desktop environment.

i remember using beos for a while in high school/college when my windows hard drive died. it certainly seemed alright at the time, and it's now a fond memory of my wasted youth

I have Haiku on VirtualBox and I'm wondering what to do with it. Don't see the performance gains from pervasive multithreading right now since there's nothing on it I can do that requires significant system resources

nothing. it is literally useless in 2017. in 1997 beos was cool and good but never had any apps so also mostly useless.

This is a huge long shot, but I remember a segment in one of those 90s era tech shows, possibly it was Beyond 2000, where some neck beard guy was going on about how he had created the worlds best OS for managing documents. What stuck out was that he was very critical of contemporary file managers and very arrogant about how his was obviously way better, but from what they showed of his it was just like a digital flip book of things sorted by date. I always wondered what happened to that guy, anyone else have any idea what I'm talking about ? I'm just curious if it turned out he was on the TempleOS scale of bad things by delusional people.

Roger Gregory, of course, did not participate. He was only a Xanadu shareholder, not a Memex employee, and his contact with the programmers was limited. But his response to the abduction of Xanadu machinery was wonderfully consistent with his outlook on life. “I just don’t understand,” he says. “I don’t have any sympathy for them. It is beyond my comprehension for somebody to quit just because they have not been paid for six months.”

cde was still updated through 2012 (and some graybeard probably has a fork they still maintain)

they open sourced cde a few years ago. turns out it was not really maintained. the source code was not even compile-able on most of the "supported" platforms.

some graybeards have ported it to linux and fixed most of the brokenness

https://sourceforge.net/p/cdesktopenv/wiki/SupportedPlatforms/

finally, dtksh on linux. now you can write gui programs with the power of ksh and the ease of use of the motif API!
