Oh, I really like UNIXes abstractions and use alot of them in my OS. What I meant was, because I use GCC for compiling, ld for linking, ar for archives etc, I noticed that I got really bound to the C way of UNIX. Or maybe POXIS would be more appropriate. It did “force” me into some design decisions which I did not like. Or even just the way I wrote C is so UNIX / Linux like. Wish I tried to branch out more, especially considering how different Windows C is.
