- It's been a while since I last seriously used Haiku but wow, this is an impressive beta with a ton of new milestones:
> Haiku now supports “NVMM”, the NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor
> There is now a port of the Go programming language compiler
> Firefox
> performance optimizations
From the pics it looks like KeePassXC and GIMP run on Haiku? Sweet!
> After evaluating various alternatives, we eventually devised an allocator based in large part on OpenBSD’s
Interesting, I wonder how it compares to otto malloc wrt canaries, UAF and so on. One of the criticisms of Haiku from years ago is that insufficient attention is paid to security, but I know a lot of improvements have been made.
