Ask HN: How much of the stack will be rewritten from scratch this century?
A lot of the foundational layers of software are quite old. Kernel: Linux&#x2F;Darwin, Compiler: GCC&#x2F;LLVM, Database: Postgres&#x2F;MySQL&#x2F;SQLite, Browser: V8&#x2F;WebKit.<p>The more low-level, the older it gets.<p>The industry is still extremely young. It&#x27;s hard to imagine that we won&#x27;t eventually rewrite everything in time.<p>What do you think will be re-written, and what benefits will it bring?
